Which the truth, by the very necessity of its nature, either must, or appears likely to, overturn; and, That truth has ultimately triumphed. In regard to the first axiom, that truth has been discovered AT distinct and often distant intervals, do not the facts, that the world has existed so many hundreds of years, and that, though so much truth has been discovered, so much remains un discovered, testify to the soundness of this axiom? This axiom does not imply that truth was ever imperfect. It came perfect from the Divine mind, and exists in the universe in all its glorious perfection. Even ancient mythology teaches this, when it in its poetic relation declares, that Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, came forth from the brain of the mythological chief god Jupiter, fully formed and perfectly armed; a relation vividly testifying to the belief among the philosophers of Olden times in the, as origi nally created, perfection of truth. In reference to the essential perfection of truth, and, at the same time, its gradual discovery by man at distinct and Often distant intervals, how appropriate are the beautiful imagery and the forcible language Of Milton, in his speech for the liberty Of unlicensed printing, addressed to the parliament Truth indeed came into the world with her Divine Master, and was a perfect shape, most glorious to look upon; but when he ascended, then straight arose a wicked race of deceivers, who took the virgin truth, hewed her lovely form into a thousand pieces, and scattered them to the four winds. From that time ever since, the sad friends Of truth, such as durst appear, went up and down, gathering up limb by limb still as they could find them. We have not found them all, lords and commons, nor ever shall do, till her Master's second coming: he shall bring together every joint and member, and shall, mould them into an immortal feature Of loveliness and perfection.
