Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

One should not think that the witness of an earlier age has been preserved for us in vain but that it may be a sort of support for searching out the meaning of Scripture, so that the spirits of the devout may become more heartened when the true meaning has been grasped from the sacred writings. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, *On the Nature of Theology and Scripture* p. 501
