A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §476

Annotatio III §.XI (7): Scripture backs multi-sense testimony — reading/hearing; Reason’s empire over senses

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Revealed Scripture itself backs that: (1) it trusts itself to our senses in reading and hearing — rash if senses deserve no faith.

(2) it gives Reason empire over the senses within limits — pointless if sense-acts are fallible.

Latin

Ipsa revelata Scriptura S. non unô modô edicit (1) Semet ipsam sensibus nostris, i. e. Lectioni & Auditioni commendando, id quod temere faceret, si sensibus fides habenda non sit. (2) Imperium in Sensus Rationi, præsertim illuminatæ, deferendo certisque limitibus circumscrivendo, in quod frustra niteretur, si Sensuum actus fallibiles sint.
