And therefore also to judge of men's works which were written at distant times of their lives, to make them out as genuine or spurious according as they containe repugnant or congruent conceptions, and to expect constancy of opinions in former and after writings, is to forget the difference of men and students allowable for their successive enquiries; to presume on improving heads an early stand in knowledge; nor to commend but disparage good Authors, whom they suppose in their yonger or middle yeares to have sett up their non ultra in knowledge. A constant tenour of discourse or strict uniformitie of sense and notions from the same elder and junior penns is only expectable from improficient heads; wherin supinitie, credulity, obstinacy, or self conceit affordeth no accretion.
The many men that every man is by the great varietie of tempers, inclinations, opinions, and apprehensions unto the age of man, makes a kind of metempsychosis before death, and makes good that Pythagoricall opinion in one generation and the same habitation of flesh. Time brings not only frequent repentancie in actions butt iterated resipiscency in opinions, thoughts and notions. Even of what I now apprehend I have no settled assurance. These are my present thoughts this night in England; what they will prove tomorrow when I arise toward China,* I may bee yet to determine.
– Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682)
*Which may bee sayd in some latitude upon the diurnall motion of the earth from west to east.
