~~“Religion itself consists not so much in Words as Things. They are not always the best skilled in Divinity, that are the most studied in those Pandects which it is sometimes digested into, or that have erected the greatest monopolies of Art & Science. He that is most practical in Divine things, hath the purest & sincerest Knowledge of them, & not he that is most dogmatical."~~

John Smith. 'Discourse on the True Method of attaining to Divine Knowledge'. printed in 'The Cambridge Platonists' p. 80.

The announcement is made today that Inge is the new Dean of St Paul's. This is a good appointment.
