English term or phrase: without prying further than what God has revealed

Next, fix your thoughts on the Scripture or a scriptural subject ***without prying further than what God has revealed***. Use your memory to focus on all that Scripture has to say about your subject. Consider past sermons and other edifying books. Use “the book of conscience, the book of Scripture, and the book of the creature” as you consider various aspects of your subject: its names, causes, qualities, fruits, and effects. Like Mary, ponder these things in your heart. Think of illustrations, similitudes, and opposites in your mind to enlighten your understanding and enflame your affections. Then let judgment assess the value of what you are meditating on.

Explanation:
The phrase, or a Scriptural subject, is presented as something tangential to the scrutiny of the written Word, so the pairing should be acknowledged, versus summarizing them as the Scriptures.
