Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation
Neither the sages of the past, nor those yet forth to come, nor what the books have said though of Holy Men inspired, do Him reveal. To us he only doth reveal himself in works, in acts, in deeds done and undone, and by no other way may we hope him to know or see. It is but the foolish who cry I save! I save!! For unto the smallest insect, not again can they impart that breath divine when it has onward fled. Such claims as these, which some lips here do make, by wiser lore are closed at last.
