All the characters of the Passion agree to the year 34; and that is the only year to which they all agree.

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "All the characters of the Passion agree to the year 34; and that is the only year to which they all agree." in the context of "Vol. I, Ch. 11: Of the Times of the Birth and Passion of Christ" to mean that wisdom is timeless.

About Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 – March 31, 1727 or in Old Style: December 25, 1642 – March 20, 1727) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author (described in his time as a "natural philosopher"), widely recognised as one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists and among the most influential scientists of all time. He was a key figure in the philosophical revolution known as the Enlightenment. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687, established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing infinitesimal calculus.
