John Locke on Revelation and Reason
An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, ed. Alexander Fraser (New York: Dover, 1959),IV, xix, 14, p. 439.
I do not mean that we must consult reason, and examine whether a
proposition revealed from God can be made out by natural principles,
and if it cannot, that then we may reject it: but consult it we must,
and by it examine whether it be a revelation from God or no: and if
reason finds it to be revealed from God, reason then declares for it as
much as for any other truth, and makes it one of her dictates.
Knowledge via Revelation
