Biblical typology
Teaching pattern
Acts 17:27, that men 'should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him': the truth-seeker's feeling after God is a gradual unfolding of the soul's hidden capacities that has no finality, an acquisition growing with receptivity, and the conception of the Infinite keeps deepening with experience, for philosophic and practical mystics alike. Later lectures keep the phrase (the lecture 'Feel After Him').
