To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But such persons have not taken in the full extent the difficulty such a want of faiih would evidently produce. In the first place, let it be asked, Through what medium have tbcy come to any certainty resj^cting the being of God? If it is answered. His outward works are a sure evidence of it ; we would then ask. By what means did the supposition arise in their minds, that Hi^ outward works were any critc- Digitized byCjOOglC 141 rion to judge J>y ? for let the means be whatever tbey may, still ...it must be faith and belief which can convey to the human mind that God is the author of creation. ^* For no man hath seen God at any time." If indeed this evidence is doubted or rejected, it were well, as lias been observed in another place, if such persons did not in time become downright atheists. As to pure Christianity, none can possess it without the necessary ingredient of faith. Faith in the Mediator's and Redeemer*s support^ and love is the humble Christian's only anchor in times of the greatiist iriaU and difficulties; and it is in this exalted/faith in the heavenly effect of divine union and communion with Christ, their rock and only refuge, that they are looking for* ward towards an endless life and a glorious im« mortality.' The Christian is assured, when temptotions •arise, when dangers threaten, when etiemicf / attack them from within and without, bo that their souls are hard beset, and they know^ not how to extricate themselves from their perilous situation, that there is none fo whom they can flee with so much confidence as to their heavenly friend^ to ask his counsel, and entreat his power- ful interposition in their behalf: He is ever ready and willing to come to their succour.
