cause of imposition. Isaiah answer'd: 'I saw no God, nor any, in a
finite organical perception; but my discover'd the infinite in
every thing, and as I was then persuaded,& confirm'd, that the
of honest indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for
consequences, but wrote. ' Then I asked: 'Does a firm that a
thing is so, make it so? ' He replied: ' All poets that it does,&
in ages of imagination this firm removed mountains; but many
are not of a firm perswasion of any thing. ' Then Ezekiel said:
philosophy of the east taught the first principles of human
