§. 35. Direct. 17. In all your studies be jealous of both extremes, and distinctly discern which are the 1extremes; that you run not into one, while you avoid the other: And be specially careful, that you imagine not co-ordinates or subordinates to be opposites, and throw not away every truth, which you 2cannot presently place rightly in the frame, and see it fall in agreeably with the rest: For a further insight into true Method (attained but by very few) may reconcile you to that which now offendeth you: What God hath joined together be sure that you never put asunder: though yet you cannot find their proper places.
