"This of yours is admirable, and truly Angelical Do­ctrine, to which very exactly that other accords, in like manner divine, which whilst it giveth us leave to dispute, touching the constitution of the World, addeth withall (perhaps to the end, that the exercise of the minds of men might neither be discou­raged, nor made bold) that we cannot find out the works made by his hands. Let therefore the Disquisition permitted and or­dain'd us by God, assist us in the knowing, and so much more admiring his greatnesse, by how much lesse we finde our selves too dull to penetrate the profound Abysses of his infinite Wis­dome."
