W. WHEWELL: _Bridgewater Treatise_.
To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or
an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far or
be too well studied in the book of God s word, or in the book of
God s works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour an
endless progress or proficience in both.
