The Life of Faith.

The life of faith is the noblest, richest, most contented, easiest, truest life of all. It is the noblest life; for it takes the soul out of the house of Adam and carries it into the household of God: it makes the soul forget its father's house, and unites it to the King of Glory. And then it is the pleasantest, the choicest excellency, and highest felicity; it is often wrapt up in the third heaven, to take its repast in inexpressible glory; it walks in the paths of pleasantness, and under all the heats of troubles and afflictions, it shades itself under the arbor of paradise. And then it is the richest life; if our desires be according to our wants, it is impossible we should want above what we desire.
