There was a vast difference between lifting a liner from a launching pad and guiding civ hunters to worlds surveyed and staked out for their trips into the wild. Hume relished the exploration part he disliked the leading-by-the-hand of nine-tenths of the Guild's clients. But if he had not been in the Guild service he would never have made that find on Jumala. That lucky, lucky find!
Augustine takes it somewhat differently, and in a way that does not go far, when he says that nothing is so much within our power as the action of our will. Arb., c. 3; lib. 5, De Civ. But that only means that we will when we will, and not that we will that which we wish to will. He also says aptly, that God gives the first good impulse, but that afterwards man acts also.
I listened with a good deal of interest, for I don't think the point had ever been made before; but what followed was still more curious, and seemed to me at the time to dispose entirely of Pembroke's claim. We know from Meres that the Sonnets had been written before 1598, and Sonnet CIV. informs us that Shakespeare's friendship for Mr. W. H. had been already in existence for three years.
Nemo ergo ex me scire quærat, quod me nescire scio, nisi forte ut nescire discat. AUGUSTINUS. De Civ. Dei, xii. 7. The people who call themselves "Agnostics" have been charged with doing so because they have not the courage to declare themselves "Infidels." It has been insinuated that they have adopted a new name in order to escape the unpleasantness which attaches to their proper denomination.
A sound like the constant blowing of a steam-whistle in the distance was said to be produced by a large monkey. Yells, hoarse or shrill, and roars more or less guttural, were significant of any of the wild beasts with which the forest abounds, and recalled the verse in Psalm civ., "Thou makest darkness that it may be night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do move."
"Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand?" ISAIAH xl. 12. "Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters." PSALM civ. 3. "He hath compassed the waters with bounds." JOB xxvi. 10. We have been learning something about the wonderful world of air, in which we live and move about.
Eversley, 1868. St Mary's Chester, 1871. Trinity Sunday. Psalm civ. 31, 33. "The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: The Lord shall rejoice in his works. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being." This is Trinity Sunday, on which we think especially of the name of God.
He who knows his own blindness sees. He who says he has no sin in him is the sinner. He who confesses his sins is the righteous man; for God is faithful and just to forgive him, as he did St. Peter, and to cleanse him from all unrighteousness. PSALM civ. 24, 27-30.
EXODUS viii. 19. "The Lord ... in whose hand is the soul of every living thing." JOB xii. 10. "O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast Thou made them all: the earth is full of Thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts." PSALM civ. 24, 25. We now come to the time when the empty water, air, and land were filled.
Oxlee renders the fourth verse of Psalm civ. As to Mr. Oxlee's 'abstract intelligences, I cannot but think 'abstract' for 'pure, and even pure intelligences for incorporeal, a lax use of terms. With regard to the point in question, the truth seems to be this. The ancient Hebrews certainly distinguished the principle or ground of life, understanding, and will from ponderable, visible, matter.
