From the Diet of Worms to the Augsburg Confession - James Aitken Wylie

that there is a God, and that the Bible is a
revelation of his character and will. The latter truth
is continually receiving authentication and
fulfillment in acts of righteousness and
dispensations of terror for what are the annals of
the world and the chronicles of the race but a
translation into fact of the laws and principles
made known in Holy Writ? God in no age, and in
no land, leaves himself without a witness. The facts
of history are the testimony of his being, and the
proof of his Word. They are the never-ceasing echo
of that awful Voice, which at the very dawn of
national history proclaimed the attributes of the
Divine character, and the principles of the Divine
government, from the top of Sinai. In history that
Voice is speaking still.
