In one passage, he brands it with the epithet of science falsely so called. And most justly. For what a wretched thing is that science which understands every thing but the truth of God, and the way of human salvation. How mis-called is that philosophy which arrays itself against divine and everlasting truth. Genuine philosophy is modest and unassuming. It delights to open its eyes to the light o.…
