The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
56
But
they
replied
to
her
Majesty,
That
the
knowledg
of
Nature,
that
is,
Natural
Philosophy,
would
be
imperfect
without
the
Art
of
Logick;
and
that
there
was
an
improbable
Truth
which
could
no
otherwise
be
found
out
then
by
the
Art
of
disputing.
Truly,
said
the
Empress,
I
do
believe
that
it
is
with
Natural
Philosophy,
as
it
is
with
all
other
effects
of
Nature;
for
no
particular
knowledg
can
be
perfect,
by
reason
knowledg
is
dividable,
as
well
as
composable;
nay,
to
speak
properly,
Nature
her
self
cannot
boast
of
any
perfection,
but
God
himself;
because
there
are
so
many
irregular
motions
in
Nature,
and
'tis
but
a
folly
to
think
that
Art
should
be
able
to
regulate
them,
since
Art
it
self
is,
for
the
most
part,
irregular.
But
as
for
Improbable
Truth
I
know
not
what
your
meaning
is;
for
Truth
is
more
then
Improbability:
nay,
there
is
so
much
difference
between
Truth
and
Improbability,
that
I
cannot
conceive
it
possible
how
they
can
be
joined
together.
In
short,
said
she,
I
do
no
ways
approve
of
your
Profession;
and
though
I
will
not
dissolve
your
society,
yet
I
shall
never
take
delight
in
hearing
you
any
more;
wherefore
confine
your
disputations
to
your
Schools,
lest
besides
the
Commonwealth
of
Learning,
they
disturb
also
Divinity
and
Policy,
Religion
and
Laws,
and
by
that
means
draw
an
utter
ruine
and
destruction
both
upon
Church
and
State.
