Query J.

Is the Love of knowledge a Motive for the Acquisition of knowledge?

How charming is divine philosophy!

Not harsh and crabbed as dull fools suppose;

But musical as is Apollo's lute,

And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets,

Where no crude surfeit reigns.

COMUS.

1. As the eye rejoices to receive the light, the ear to hear sweet music: so the mind, which is the man, rejoices to discover the secret works, the varieties and beauties of nature.

2. The inquiry of truth, which is the love making or wooing it; the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it; and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying it, is the sovereign good of our nature.
