Paperback

"There is in the world no kind of knowledge, whereby any part of Truth is seen, but we justly account it precious; yea, that Principal Truth, in comparison whereof all other knowledge is vile, may receive from it some kind of light; whether it be that Egyptian and Chaldean wisdom Mathematical, wherewith Moses and Daniel were furnished; or that Natural, Moral, and Civil wisdom, wherein Solomon excelled all men; or that Rational and Oratorial wisdom of the Grecians, which the Apostle St. Paul brought from Tarsus; or that Judaical, which he learned in Jerusalem, sitting at the feet of Gamaliel: To detract from the dignity thereof, were to injure even God himself, who being that Light which none can approach unto, hath sent out these lights whereof we are capable, even as so many sparkles resembling the bright Fountain from which they rise."-Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity, Book iii. fol. 1705, p. 137.Tags: fossil species teeth jaw molar remains size bones tooth lower rhinoceros extinct cuvier surface fossils upper mammoth bone inches molarsCategory: Science - PaleontologyVisit Forgotten Books at:
