The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose ... We distinguish the announcements of the soul, its manifestations of its own nature, by the term Revelation. These are always attended by the emotion of the sublime.

Every distinct apprehension of this central commandment agitates men with awe and delight.

Let me now warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party. The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

Nor what is the course of the wind, or who agitates it, In what place it dies away, on what land it roars.

I believe scripture is not just resilient but rebellious against its abuse by people. Scripture says it refuses to be used in that way for long.
