A little skill in antiquity inclines a man to Popery; but depth in that study brings him about again to our religion.
"Antiquitas saeculi juventus mundi." These times are the ancient times, when the world is ancient, and not those which we account ancient ordine retrogrado, by a computation backward from ourselves.
Nor rough, nor barren, are the winding ways
Of hoar antiquity, but strewn with flowers.
