God Alone Is Infinite
B!essed is he simplicity, which avoids difficult questIons, and walks on the plain and firm footpath of the commandments of God. Many have lost devotion because they would search into deep matters. Faith is required of you, and an upright life; not depth of intellect, and subtle knowledge of the Mysteries of God. If you do not understand, nor receive into your mind the things beneath you, how will you comprehend the things which are above you? Submit yourself to God, and humble your sense to faith, and the light of knowledge shall be given to you, so far as shall be necessary and good for you.
-The Imitation.
