'And here I may add, that from the time I came from school, I read little, save religious books; and after I appeared in ministry, until late in life, reading even then was much taken from me, except the scriptures: all of which I believe was in divine wisdom, that I might not minister from what I had gathered from religious writings; but might receive the arguments I was enabled to advance on behalf of the truth, by the immediate revelation of the Holy Spirit.'
