Truth Does Not Become More

Do Not Imagine That What We Have Said Of The Insufficiency Of Our Understanding And Of Its Limited Extent Is An Assertion Founded Only On The Bible: For Philosophers Likewise Assert The Same, And Perfectly Understand It,- Without Having Regard To Any Religion Or Opinion.

For The Elements Have The Property Of Moving Back To Their Place In A Straight Line, But They Have No Properties Which Would Cause Them To Remain Where They Are, Or To Move Otherwise Than In A Straight Line. The Rectilinear Motions Of These Four Elements When Returning To Their Original Place Are Of Two Kinds, Either Centrifugal, Viz., The Motion Of The Air And The Fire; Or Centripedal, Viz., The Motion Of The Earth, And The Water; And When The Elements Have Reached Their Original Place, They Remain At Rest.

It Is Thus Necessary To Examine All Things According To Their Essence, To Infer From Every Species Such True And Well Established Propositions As May Assist Us In The Solution Of Metaphysical Problems.
