But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Short boughs, long vintage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Short boughs, long vintage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62619]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43977]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd say the chances are about 50-50 that humanity will be extinct or nearly extinct within 50 years.
