Faith, hath her eye, faith hath her senses, 1faith hath feet of her own, whereby she goes to Christ: faith hath arms of her own to grasp, and to clasp Christ. Faith hath ears of her own, to hear the word of God, and believe it; faith hath eyes of her own; and what kind of eyes? to see things afar off, to see things invisible; to see things within the veil, to see things that are upward, things that sense and reason can never reach unto. Reason sees more then sense, but faith sees more than reason. Faith sees the resurrection of the body, faith sees the glory in heaven, that all the eyes in the world cannot see. Faith correcteth the error of reason, reason corrects the error of sense. They saw him afar 2off, with the blessed eye of faith. Faith hath an eye that sees a far off, it sees things remote both intime, and place.
