Carlyle is saying here in his way what in the Old Testament account God said to Job, when He challenged him to gird up his loins like a man, _and tell what he knew about the foundations and creations of things. .It is what in the New Testament Jes- lus said when He declared that no `man, not even the Son of Man, knew the deep things which were hidden within the counsels of the Eternal. It is what Paul wrote, Now we see in a mirror, darkly; now I know in part."' They are all saying this, .That God is the Whole, and we are only very small parts of the Whole;, that God is infinite. and we are finite; that He is God, and we are men.
