D. Then thou shouldst abandon that castle, as I have done. C. Art thou my judge? D. I judge no mind, but I know thy condition. C. My condition, I hope, is well. D. Whereon doth thy hope rest? C. On the rock of eternal truth. D. What is truth? C. The truth is not what thou wouldst teach in thy apostacy. I said, “Wilt thou answer the question? We wish to know what is truth.” C. Dost thou wish to relieve thy new convert? T. I wish thee to tell us, if thou canst, what is truth? C. I will not say, that works are the truths of God. T. Wilt thou say, that they are not the truths of God? C. Yea. T. Then, what is nature, but the work of God? C. Nature is a work of God. T. Is nature a true work of God? C. It is. T. Then the true work of God is nature, and as thou sayest it is a true work, it is a truth of God. That which is true, is a truth; and that which is false, is not true. The truth of nature is a work of God. The wisdom of nature is the wisdom of God. C. But there is a wisdom which is not of nature. T. Wilt thou teach me that wisdom? C. It is the wisdom of the Bible. T. What wisdom is not of nature? C. The Bible. T. The Bible is not wisdom, but a revelation of wisdom. C. The Bible is full of wisdom. T. The Bible is full of the wisdom of nature, which is God’s work. C. The Bible teaches us wisdom. T. It reveals wisdom. C. The Bible reveals what nature does not. T. What wisdom does it reveal, which nature does not? C. It reveals a resurrection of mind from the rudimental to a superior condition. T. Does not nature do the same? C. Not to minds in the rudimental state. T. It reveals the resurrection of many things. C. What? T. The flower, the reptile, and the insect. C. But it does not reveal the resurrection of minds. T. It may do so. It has revealed it to us, and we may reveal it to minds in the body. Is not that nature which gave the Bible? C. In one sense it is. T. Is it not in every sense? C. Philosophically, mind and spirit are one thing; but mind is not the cause of nature without God. T. Truly. Mind is the natural work of God, and mind has revealed the wisdom of God, as it has been discovered. This revelation is the Bible, which discloses the undiscovered wisdom of God, by minds who have learned it by their investigation of nature, which is God’s work. C. That is true. T. Thou wilt see, then, that nature is true to God; and when a thing is true to him who made it, it can never be untrue. Even so, is that true to thee which is adapted to thy welfare. But that which is adapted to thy welfare, may not be adapted to the welfare of all minds. C. Thou makest truth change with the condition of mind, then.
