“You place the whole stress of your inquiries upon reason: I am far from discarding reason, when it is enlightened and sanctified; but spiritual things must be spiritually discerned, and can be received and discerned no other way; for to our natural reason they are foolishness.”1
-from a Letter to Rev. Mr. S— (Oct. 28, 1775)
