Inquiry
155. Have a care of Vulgar Errors. Dislike, as well as Allow Reasonably.
156. Inquiry is Human; Blind Obedience Brutal. Truth never loses by the one, but often suffers by the other.
157. The usefulest Truths are plainest: And while we keep to them, our Differences cannot rise high.
158. There may be a Wantonness in Search, as well as a Stupidity in Trusting. It is great Wisdom equally to avoid the Extreams.
