Excerpt from A Brief Reply to Thomas Bewley's Pamphlet: Entitled "an Inquiry Into the Right Place and Authority of Holy Scripture."

On page 5, we find the Author approximating nearer to the testimony of mm, (though he accords it the second place, ) by saying, Let it be distinctly borne in mind in all that follows, that it is only by the help of the Holy Spirit that we can truly comprehend and believe the truths contained in this revelation of the Divine will, and that we ever stand in need of his enlightening power rightly to appreciate them. Again on page 6, The preparation of the heart for the reception of Divine truth, is only of the Lord. It is by his Holy Spirit alone, that these truths can be brought home and savingly applied to the soul.
