Psychological interpretation
Hebrews 11:3 ('things which are seen were not made of things which do appear'): the cause of every visible thing is invisible, in consciousness. Man refuses it and looks for causes in the visible, peering through the microscope or analysing the blood for the source of a disease; he may find it there, but it is there only because at a forgotten moment he planted it in imagination. So one prescribes nothing outwardly and changes the invisible cause.
