We Speak Much Of God, Can Talk

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.

Ignorance Of God And Of Ourselves Is The Great Principle And Cause Of All Our Disquietments; And, This Ariseth Mostly Not From Want Of Light And Instruction, But For Want Of Consideration And Application.

To Kill Sin Is The Work Of Living Men; Where Men Are Dead (as All Unbelievers, The Best Of Them, Are Dead), Sin Is Alive, And Will Live.

Then Are We Servants Of God, Then Are We The Disciples Of Christ, When We Do What Is Commanded Us And Because It Is Commanded Us.

The Good Lord Send Out A Spirit Of Mortification To Cure Our Distempers, Or We Are In A Sad Condition!
