Hosea 2:20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD. Luther described theology, the knowledge of God, as "the queen of the sciences." And in comparison with it, all other knowledge is vain. "We have lost," said Dr. Bennett, Bishop of Cloyne, to Dr. Parr, when announcing the death of John Cowper, brother of the poet, "the best classic and most liberal thinker in the university." What said John Cowper himself in his dying hours? "I have laboured day and night to perfect myself in things of no profit. I have sacrificed myself to these pursuits, and am suffering the consequences of my mis-spent labour. I wanted to be highly applauded, and was flattered up to the height of my wishes. Now I must learn a new lesson."
