Usage : {
Testimony }, {
Proof }, {
Evidence }.
Proof is the most familiar ,
and is used more frequently (
though not exclusively )
of facts and things which occur in the ordinary concerns of life .
Evidence is a word of more dignity ,
and is more generally applied to that which is moral or intellectual ;
as ,
the evidences of Christianity ,
etc .
Testimony is what is deposed to by a witness on oath or affirmation .
When used figuratively or in a wider sense ,
the word testimony has still a reference to some living agent as its author ,
as when we speak of the testimony of conscience ,
or of doing a thing in testimony of our affection ,
etc .
Testimony refers rather to the thing declared ,
evidence to its value or effect . "
To conform our language more to common use ,
we ought to divide arguments into demonstrations ,
proofs ,
and probabilities ;
ba proofs ,
meaning such arguments from experience as leave no room for doubt or opposition ."
--
Hume . "
The evidence of sense is the first and highest kind of evidence of which human nature is capable ." --
Bp .
Wilkins . "
The proof of everything must be by the testimony of such as the parties produce ."
--
Spenser .
