Belief Vs. Skepticism

1 passage in the novel carry this mark, in the order they appear.

And for this I thank God; for all have doubts; many deny; but doubts or denials, few along with them, have intuitions. Doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this combination makes neither believer nor infidel, but makes a man who regards them both with equal eye.

Chapter 85, The Fountain · verse 24
