He is resolved to understand no man s reason but his own, because he finds no man can understand his but himself. His wits are like a sack, which the French proverb says is tied faster before it is full than when it is; and his opinions are like plants that grow upon rocks, that stick fast though they have no rooting. His understanding is hardened like Pharaoh’s heart and is proof against all sorts of judgments whatsoever.— Bishop Butler.
