There Is A State Of Perfect Peace

Let No Man Pretend To Fear Sin That Does Not Fear Temptation Also! These Two Are Too Closely United To Be Separated. He Does Not Truly Hate The Fruit Who Delights In The Root.

Temptation Is Like A Knife, That May Either Cut The Meat Or The Throat Of A Man; It May Be His Food Or His Poison, His Exercise Or His Destruction

Some Relate . . . That The Eagle Tries The Eyes Of Her Young By Turning Them To The Sun; Which If They Cannot Look Steadily On, She Rejects Them As Spurious. We May Truly Try Our Faith By Immediate Intuitions Of The Sun Of Righteousness. Direct Faith To Act Itself, Immediately And Directly On The Incarnation Of Christ And His Mediation; And If It Be Not The Right Kind And Race, It Will Turn Its Eyes Aside To Anything Else.

Assurance Encourateth Us In Our Combat; It Delivers Us Not From It. We May Have Peace With God When We Have Done From The Assaults Of Satan.

A Man May Easier See Without Eyes, Speak Without A Tongue, Than Truly Mortify One Sin Without The Spirit.
