You May Force Me To Say What

It Vexes Me When They Would Constrain Science By The Authority Of The Scriptures, And Yet Do Not Consider Themselves Bound To Answer Reason And Experiment.

I Am Inclined To Think That The Authority Of Holy Scripture Is Intended To Convince Men Of Those Truths Which Are Necessary For Their Salvation, Which, Being Far Above Man's Understanding, Can Not Be Made Credible By Any Learning, Or Any Other Means Than Revelation By The Holy Spirit.

By Denying Scientific Principles, One May Maintain Any Paradox.

To Be Humane, We Must Ever Be Ready To Pronounce That Wise, Ingenious And Modest Statement 'i Do Not Know'.

But, Because My Private Lectures And Domestic Pupils Are A Great Hinderance And Intteruption Of My Studies, I Wish To Live Entirely Exempt From The Former, And In Great Measure From The Latter. ... In Short, I Should Wish To Gain My Bread From My Writings.
