'A' Level Philosophy and Ethics Notes Conscience according to Butler
Butler is referenced in Tracts for the Times, Number 80:
"In the use, for instance, of figurative expressions to persons who did not understand the meaning of them. To this we cannot but apply the remark of Bishop Butler, where he observes the vast difference between Holy Scripture, and any human composition in this respect, that in the latter our object is by words to convey most fitly our meaning to others; we cannot say this of GOD'S written word. It may have other objects quite of another kind, which its very obscurity serves, better than its distinct meaning would do."
