Excerpt from Sermons on Doctrinal and Moral Subjects The Revelation (yo God signifies that he has communicated certain truths to men, which they were incapable of discovering by their own pow ers, and'yet which are of the greatest importance to them. These truths are contained in the, Bible, which, we therefore conclude, is of divine origin; and as such, is worthy of all acceptation. The fact that this revelation is from God, is sus. Tained by the nature and character of the Fa ther the mission of Christ; the fulfilment of prophecy; the exhibition of miracles the adap tation of Christian truth to our intellectual and moral wants; and the testimony furnished by history. This revelation was not made to us personally. It was communicated to inspired. Men who lived many ages since, on whose ex perience we rely and in whose records we be lieve. Hence, as Divine Revelation was not primarily given to us, we receive it through men who were raised up for the purpose of establish ing it in the World, for the instruction of all people.
