Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.

The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
