Excerpt from A Brief Reply to Thomas Bewley's Pamphlet: Entitled "an Inquiry Into the Right Place and Authority of Holy Scripture."
In addressing himself, on page to the subject of inquiry, What is their right place, and how are we to ascertain where that right place is? The Author proceeds with this untenable and comfortless assertion It must be manifest to all that we have no means of discovering this, except from the Holy Scriptures themselves - forgetting the precious truth which Barclay has well stated, that it is by the inward testimony of the Spirit we do alone truly know them. Now if we cannot truly know them, but by the inward testimony of the Spirit, it is plain that we cannot rightly estimate them as to place and authority, but by the same good rule and guide.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a response to a controversial pamphlet by Thomas Bewley, who questioned the place and authority of the Holy Scripture in the Religious Society of Friends. The author, a member of the society, refutes Bewley's claims, arguing that the Holy Scriptures are not the primary rule of faith and manners, but rather a secondary guide, subordinate to the inward testimony of the Spirit of Truth. The author provides ample evidence from the Scriptures themselves, as well as from the writings of early Friends, to support this position. The book also explores the dangers of elevating the Scriptures above the inward witness of the Spirit, and the importance of relying on the Spirit as the primary guide in one's spiritual journey. Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the vital relationship between Scripture and Spirit, and emphasizes the centrality of inward experience in authentic Christian living.
