PETER (?1665-1735) , Irish divine and See also:bishop of See also:Cork and See also:Ross, was See also:born in Co. See also:Dublin, not See also:long after the Restoration. He entered Trinity See also:College, Dublin, in 1682, and after ten years' See also:residence obtained a fellowship. In 1699 he was made See also:provost of the college, and in the same See also:year published his See also:Letter in See also:answer to a See also:Book entitled "See also:Christianity not Mysterious," which was recognized as the ablest reply yet written to See also:Toland. It expounds in germ the whole of his later theory of See also:analogy. In 1710 he was made bishop of Cork and Ross, which See also:post he held till his See also:death in 1735. In 1713 he had become somewhat notorious from his vigorous pamphleteering attack on the See also:fashion of drinking healths, especially " to the glorious and immortal memory." His two most important See also:works are the
See also:Procedure, Extent, and Limits of the HumanUnderstanding (1728), an able though sometimes captious critique of See also:Locke's See also:essay, and Things Divine and Supernatural conceived by Analogy with Things Natural and Human, more briefly referred to as the Divine Analogy (1733). The See also:doctrine of analogy was intended as a reply to the deistical conclusions that had been See also:drawn from Locke's theory of knowledge. Browne holds that not only See also:God's essence, but his attributes are inexpressible by our ideas, and can only be conceived analogically. This view was vigorously assailed as leading to See also:atheism by See also:Berkeley in his See also:Alciphron (See also:Dialogue iv.), and a See also:great See also:part of the Divine Analogy is occupied with a See also:defence against that See also:criticism. The bishop. emphasizes the distinction between See also:metaphor and analogy; though the conceived attributes are not thought. as they are in themselves, yet there is a reality corresponding in some way to our ideas of them. His analogical arguments resemble those found in the See also:Bampton Lectures of See also:Dean See also:Mansel. Browne was a See also:man of abstemious habits, charitable disposition, and impressive eloquence. He died on the 27th of See also:August 1735.
