Excerpt from Some Christian Convictions: A Practical Restatement in Terms, of Present-Day Thinking Certainty cannot go beyond the Obj ective Evidence: for it is caused thereby as the print on the Wax is caused by that on the Seal. I am not so foolish as to pretend my certainty to be greater than it is, merely be cause it is a dishonour to be less certain. They that will begin all their Certainty with that of the Truth of the Scripture, as the Princizn'um Cognoscendi, may meet me at the same end; but they must give me leave to undertake to prove to a Heathen or Infidel, the Being of God and the necessity of Holi ness, even while he yet denieth the Truth of Scripture, and in order to his believing it to be true.
