Philosophy to be subservient to Divinity. [ 235]
THe Iewes read the book of Hester in their Synagogues,* 1.1 because they account
it Canonicall Scripture; but before they read it, they let it fall to the ground,
because they do not finde the Name of God once mentioned in it, as their Rabbins
have observed: So for the morall Treatises of Philosophers, we must read them, be∣cause
they speak of vertue and happinesse, and are good Handmaids to Piety and De∣votion:
But we must let them fall to the ground before we read them, they must
be subservient to the Scripture, they must be read with reference to Scripture, be∣cause
they do not give glory to God.
