Originál: (en) The manner of God’s revealing His will to men is also very varied. Some have had special, personal and peculiar discoveries of it made to them. (…) But now, all are tied up to the ordinary standing rule of the written Word and must not expect any such extraordinary revelations from God. The way we now have to know the will of God concerning us in difficult cases is to search and study the Scriptures, and where we find no particular rule to guide us in this or that particular case, there we are to apply general rules and govern ourselves according to the analogy and proportion they bear towards each other.
