"Dangerous it were for the feeble brain of man to wade far into the doings of the most high; whom although we know to be life, and joy to make mention of His name; yet our soundest knowledge is to know that we know Him not as indeed he is, neither can know Him: and our safest eloquence concerning Him is our silence when we confess without confession that his glory is inexplicable, His greatness above our capacity and reach. He is above, and we upon earth: Therefore it behoveth our words to be wary and few"
words from Hookers Ecclesiastical polity 16th Century stuff.
Shared with me by my friend Tom Shepherd when I started reading theology at Manchester and which I have had with me ever since
Thank you Tom
