Lectures on Systematic Theology, lect. i. Mr. Locke speaks most excellently to this point—‘There are fundamental truths, which lie at the bottom, the basis upon which a great many others rest, and in which they have their consistency. These are teeming truths, rich in store, with which they furnish the mind; and like the lights of heaven, they are not only beautiful and entertaining in themselves, but they give light and evidence to other things that without them could not be seen or known. These, and such as these, are the truths we should endeavour to find out and store our minds with.’ Conduct of the Understanding, § 43.
