That faith which is required of us is then perfect when it produces in us a fiduciary assent to whatever the Gospel has revealed.

Let us live like those who expect to die, and then we shall find that we feared death only because we were unacquainted with it.

Did we perfectly know the state of our own condition, and what was most proper for us, we might have reason to conclude our prayers not heard if not answered.

That faith which is required of us is then perfect when it produces in us a fiduciary assent to whatever the Gospel has revealed.
