"Truth indeed came once into the world with her divine Master, and was a perfect shape most glorious to look on: but when he ascended, and his Apostles after him were laid asleep, then straight arose a wicked race of deceivers, who, as that story goes of the Egyptian Typhon with his conspirators, how they dealt with the good Osiris, 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, imitating the careful search that Isis made for the mangled body
of Osiris, went up and down gathering up limb by limb, still as they could
find them. We have not yet 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."
John Milton

opening your heart.
Compatriot
"To be still searching what we know not by what we know, still closing
up truth to truth as we find it (for all her body is homogeneal and proportional),
this is the golden rule in theology as well as in arithmetic, and makes
up the best harmony in a Church; not the forced and outward union of cold,
and neutral, and inwardly divided minds."
John Milton
