 15        1|            OF THE LIMITS AND END OF KNOWLEDGE.~In the divine nature both
 16        1|           come within the oracle of knowledge man transgressed and fell;
 17        1|           no part of his emulation; knowledge, being in creation an angel
 18        1|             of light and liberty of knowledge; therefore this approaching
 19        1|         evil?~Wherefore seeing that knowledge is of the number of those

 21        1|           the creatures themselves) knowledge, but as to the nature of
 22        1|            to the nature of God, no knowledge, but wonder; which is nothing
 23        1|          proceeding in invention of knowledge but by similitude; and God
 24        1|           know, considering that in knowledge (as we now are capable of
 25        1|          that both divine and human knowledge hath received by the intermingling
 26        1|     restraint to natural and lawful knowledge, being unjustly jealous
 27        1|            every reach and depth of knowledge wherewith their conceits
 28        1|            into the mine of natural knowledge is a thing without example
 29        1|          that pure light of natural knowledge, whereby man in paradise
 30        1|        attain to that part of moral knowledge which defineth of good and
 31        1|            and leading in matter of knowledge. And Salomon the king, as
 32        1|           NOT; AND SO OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.~And lest any man should
 33        1|        scruple as if this thirst of knowledge were rather an humour of
 34        1|         truly conceive, that as all knowledge appeareth to be a plant
 35        1|            the further discovery of knowledge should meet in one time
 36        1|             all increase of natural knowledge: the one, because it leadeth
 37        1|   remembered that the least part of knowledge passed to man by this so
 38        1|             otherwise all manner of knowledge becometh malign and serpentine,
 39        1|        Scripture saith excellently, knowledge bloweth up, but charity
 40        1|      notably disavow both power and knowledge such as is not dedicated
 41        1|           MEN AND ANGELS, (there is knowledge, for language is but the
 42        1|            is but the conveyance of knowledge,) ALL WERE NOTHING.~And
 43        1|           that are the true ends of knowledge; some of these being more
 44        1|             practice. And therefore knowledge that tendeth but to satisfaction

 46        1|             hindereth the race. And knowledge referred to some particular
 47        1|         that the ancient regions of knowledge will seem as barbarous compared

 51        4|     prosperous for the invention of knowledge; so as it is not only the
 52        4|             plants, whereby this of knowledge bath been starved and overgrown;

 55        4|       unproper for amplification of knowledge. And again the studies of

 60        4|        whereby the patrimony of all knowledge goeth not on husbanded or
 61        4|             wasted and decayed. For knowledge is like a water that will
 62        4|        either we must conclude that knowledge is but a task for one man’
 63        4|             LONG: or else, that the knowledge that now is, is but a shrub,
 64        7|         multitude; yet the state of knowledge is ever a DEMOCRATIE, and

 66        8|         ROOT AND STOCK OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, BEING THE 8TH CHAPTER,
 67        8|           an universal SAPIENCE and knowledge both of matter and words,
 68        8|            and further invention of knowledge, that particular arts and
 69        8|        disincorporated from general knowledge, do not understand one and
 70        8|     practice, as the orator hath of knowledge of affections for moving,
 71        8|           dependence upon universal knowledge to be augmented and rectified
 72        8|             to an administration of knowledge in some such order and policy
 73        9|           THAT THE END AND SCOPE OF KNOWLEDGE HATH BEEN GENERALLY MISTAKEN,
 74        9|             original inquisition of knowledge; and in those who have pretended,
 75        9|         even those that have sought knowledge for itself, and not for
 76        9|       minors and subsequents to the knowledge of the particulars out of

 78        9|            the end and womb of such knowledge.~But yet nevertheless here
 79        9|            end, scope, or office of knowledge, which I have set down to
 80        9|            universality of sense or knowledge, and much less to make a
 81        9|     reasonably: for as it asks some knowledge to demand a question not
 82       11|           therefore the true end of knowledge not propounded hath bred
 83       11|    confesseth that there is no true knowledge but by causes, no true cause

 85       11| UNDERSTANDING IN THE INQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE; BEING THE 16TH CHAPTER,
 86       12|         determining of the truth of knowledge, men have put themselves
 87       12|          harmony and coherence of a knowledge in itself; the establishing
 88       12|         upon the point, whether the knowledge be profitable or no, but
 89       12|          upon the point whether the knowledge be true or no; not because
 90       13|           philosophy were meant the knowledge of the efficients of things
 91       13|     concrete; and by metaphysic the knowledge of the forms of natures
 92       13|            good and fit division of knowledge: but upon examination there
 93       13|       sought; because by the former knowledge some small and superficial

101       18|         practice in the delivery of knowledge for the covering and palliating
102       18|            received. That never any knowledge was delivered in the same
103       18|            two ends of tradition of knowledge, the one to teach and instruct
104       18|          the ends, which is where a knowledge is delivered to be continued

106       18|         account how he came to that knowledge which he hath received,
107       18|         this method is peculiar for knowledge gathered by interpretation.
108       18|           they were ever due to any knowledge delivered, or if they were
109       18|         were never due to any human knowledge heretofore delivered, yet
110       18|              yet are now due to the knowledge propounded.~
111       19|       belongeth to the invention of knowledge, and that men have not known
112       19|          now propounded than in any knowledge formerly delivered, because
113       25|          and beliefs, is adverse to knowledge; because men having liberty
114       25|       working of God, is adverse to knowledge. That such is the religion
