Excerpt from The Doctrine of Prayer: Its Utility, and Its Relation to Providence Some things in the bible are matters of pure revelation; and are to be accepted simply because they are revealed. Such doctrines, for example, as the Trinity and the Incar nation, are addressed not to reason but to faith. They are to be accepted and sustained, not on the principles of human philosophy, but on the authority merely of God's word. In relation to such as they, all that reason can do is to demonstrate for us the divine origin of the scriptures, and to interpret their revelations about them according to the laws of language. When the doctrine is appre hended by the understanding, however great its mystery, reason' itself would say, it must be implicitly received.
