Tillotson: plain truth

Wednesday, July 3, 2013
    Feast of Thomas the Apostle
Meditation:
    And he said to man, ‘The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.’”
    —Job 28:28 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It seems to be very hard, and if that would do any good, might be a just matter of complaint, that we are fallen into so profane and skeptical an age, which takes a pleasure and a pride in unraveling almost all the received principles both of religion and reason, so that we are put many times to prove those things, which can hardly be made plainer than they are of themselves.
    ... John Tillotson (1630-1694), Works of Dr. John Tillotson, v. I, London: J. F. Dove, for R. Priestley, 1820, Sermon I, p. 332 (see the book)
