TESTS.
ALL submit to them, where they sit,
inner, secure,
unapproachable to
analysis, in the Soul;
Not traditions — not the outer authorities are the judges — they are the judges of outer authori- ties, and of all traditions;
They corroborate as they go, only whatever corrobo- rates themselves, and touches themselves;
For all that, they have it forever in themselves to corroborate far and near, without one excep- tion.
