When either grace is turned into painted, but rotten nature, as Arminians do, or into wantonness, as others do, the error to me is of a far other and higher elevation, than opinions touching church government.

faith in truth, in beauty, in friendship, in love and harmony of life
in short, faith in reason and the worth of spiritual life

This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence. — Ram Dass
