Owen: lost in the knowledge of God

“All the rational conceptions of the minds of men are swallowed up, and lost, when they would exercise themselves directly on that which is absolutely immense, eternal, infinite. When we say it is so, we know not what we say, but only that it is not otherwise. What we deny of God, we know in some measure, but what we affirm we know not;”

Excerpt From: Owen, John, 1616-1683. “The works of John Owen.” London : Printed for Richard Baynes, 1826. iBooks.
