They that want faith, do neither pray to God, nor yet receive of him the things that are for their welfare. Moreover, faith maketh us acceptable to God, and doth command us to have an eye to the well using of Gods good gifts. Faith causeth us not to 1faint in tribulations: yea also by faith we overcome the world, the flesh, the Devil, and all adversities.
