    Observation through the senses alone, Better, is only a relative term, one must state whether, the natal agent becomes, good or evil. Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil ! Richardson was a writer, not a philosopher or statesman, siding with the wrong political party, so to speak. their auxiliary, the roman catholic church. He was cast into exile, by the Rightful king James. The statement is very shallow !
