What
the
mechanical
arts
contribute
to
exegetics
Further
,
as
to
the
remaining
arts
,
whether
those
by
which
something
is
made
which
,
when
the
effort
of
the
workman
is
over
,
remains
as
a
result
of
his
work
,
as
,
for
example
,
a
house
,
a
bench
,
a
dish
,
and
other
things
of
that
kind
;
or
those
which
,
so
to
speak
,
assist
God
in
His
operations
,
as
medicine
,
and
agriculture
,
and
navigation
:
or
those
whose
sole
result
is
an
action
,
as
dancing
,
and
racing
,
and
wrestling
;
in
all
these
arts
experience
teaches
us
to
infer
the
future
from
the
past
.
For
no
man
who
is
skilled
in
any
of
these
arts
moves
his
limbs
in
any
operation
without
connecting
the
memory
of
the
past
with
the
expectation
of
the
future
.
Now
of
these
arts
a
very
superficial
and
cursory
knowledge
is
to
be
acquired
,
not
with
a
view
to
practicing
them
(
unless
some
duty
compel
us
,
a
matter
on
which
I
do
not
touch
at
present
),
but
with
a
view
to
forming
a
judgement
about
them
,
that
we
may
not
be
wholly
ignorant
of
what
Scripture
means
to
convey
when
it
employs
figures
of
speech
derived
from
these
arts
.
