The power of intuitional perception is capable of being increased. It is in fact greater in one man than in other men. The senses of some persons are far more acute than those of others. The senses of hearing and touch are greatly exalted in the case of the blind. It is the same with the intellect It is said that all the propositions of the First Book of Euclid were as plain at first sight to Newton as the axioms. The same is true of our moral and religious nature. The more that nature is purified and exalted, the clearer is its vision, and the wider the scope of its intuitions.
Charles Hodge — Systematic Theology - Volume I
