"I can truly affirm of myself that my studies have been profitable and availing to
me, only so far as I have endeavoured to use all my other knowledge as a glass, enabling
me to receive more light in a wider field of vision from the word of God."-COLERIDGE.

πέπλος χρυσοῦς ἐστι τῶν γραφῶν ἡ διήγησις, ὁ στήμων χρυσὸς, ἡ κρόκη χρυσός. οὐ
παρυφαίνω τῶν ἀραχνων τὰ ὑφάσματα των έμων λογισμῶν τὴν ἀσθένειαν οἶδα.-CHRYSOSTOM.
Op. Tom. I. p. 887.

οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξαντληθῆναί ποτε τὸν νοῦν τῶν γραφῶν· πηγή τίς ἐστιν οὐκ ἔχουσα πέρας
ὅσῳ γὰρ ἄν τις αὐτοῖς ἐνδιατριβῇ τοσούτῳ ὀξύτερον βλέπει.—Id. Tom. VIII. p. 592.
