What is meant in the doctrine by immediate revelation. By immediate6 revelation is meant God's making known some truth by immediate suggestion of it to the mind, without its being made known by sense or reason, or by any former revelation. 'Tis God that makes known all truth to men: [he] is the fountain of all light and knowledge, of those things that we know by natural means—by experience, teaching, [and] reason. But the ways of God's making truth known to us are either ordinary or extraordinary.
