Faith
Is the foundation. Coloss. 1. Be ye grounded and settled 1in the Faith. Credendo fundatur, saith Augustine. It is grounded in faith. All other graces are (as it were) built on this foundation. Credimus quond speramus: quod credimus & speramus, diligimus: quod credimus, speramus, & diligimus, operamur. What we hope; we believe: what we believe and hope, we love: what we believe, hope, and love; we endeavour to attain. So all is built on Faith.
