The Folly Of Interpreters Has Been, To Foretell Times And Things By This Prophecy, As If God Designed To Make Them Prophets. By This Rashness They Have Not Only Exposed Themselves, But Brought The Prophecy Also Into Contempt. The Design Of God Was Much Otherwise. He Gave This And The Prophecies Of The Old Testament, Not To Gratify Mens Curiosities By Enabling Them To Foreknow Things, But That After They Were Fulfilled They Might Be Interpreted By The Event, And His Own Providence, Not The Interpreters, Be Then Manifested Thereby To The World.

A Vulgar Mechanick Can Practice What He Has Been Taught Or Seen Done, But If He Is In An Error He Knows Not How To Find It Out And Correct It, And If You Put Him Out Of His Road He Is At A Stand. Whereas He That Is Able To Reason Nimbly And Judiciously About Figure, Force, And Motion, Is Never At Rest Till He Gets Over Every Rub. (from A Letter Dated 25 May, 1694)

The Prophecies Of Daniel Are All Of Them Related To One Another, As If They Were But Several Parts Of One General Prophecy, Given At Several Times. The First Is The Easiest To Be Understood, And Every Following Prophecy Adds Something New To The Former.
