Famous quotes containing the words canonical and/or order:
“If God bestowed immortality on every man then when he made him, and he made many to whom he never purposed to give his saving grace, what did his Lordship think that God gave any man immortality with purpose only to make him capable of immortal torments? It is a hard saying, and I think cannot piously be believed. I am sure it can never be proved by the canonical Scripture.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“If I know how or which way to order these affairs
Thus disorderly thrust into my hands,
Never believe me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
