What dost thou know of God? How little a portion is it! How immense is he in his nature! Canst thou look without terror into the abyss of eternity? Thou canst not bear the rays of his glorious being…Notwithstanding all our confidence of high attainments, all our notions of God are but childish in respect of his infinite perfections. We list and babble, and say we know not what, for the most part, in our most accurate, as we think, conceptions and notions of God.
— John Owen, On the Mortification of Sin, ch. 13
