A Quote from Baptist History

"For if Reason should go before, like an Usher to make way to Faith in Divine Mysteries, we should never believe. In many Divine Truths, the Schoolmen say well, Rationes præcedentes minuunt fidem, sed Rationes subsequentes augent sidem: Reasons going before Faith weaken Faith, but Reasons coming after Faith strengthen it."

Preface from The Orthodox Creed
