Whereas, Unbelief doth unsettle the soul; fills a man with unsufferable perplexities; sets a man upon the rack of fears. It is that which keeps a man in fears, and that which causeth a fresh return of doubts and fears. — If you do not believe, ye shall not be established. And Unbelieving man is an house without a foundation; a man without a bottom, like a ship unballasted in a Tempest, tossed hither and thither.
Whereas, Unbeleef doth unsettle the soul; fills a man with unsufferable perplexities; sets a man upon the rack of fears. It is that which keeps a man in fears, and that which causeth a fresh return of doubts and fears. — If you do not beleeve, yee shall not bee established. And Unbeleeving man is an house without a foundation; a man without a bottom, like a ship unballassed in a Tempest, tossed hither and thither.
Faith on the contrary doth make a man a rock in a storm, doth stablish and settle the heart in the greatest Tempest.
The less Faith, the more Fear, the more Unsettledness. The more Faith, the less Fear, the more Stability.
The lesse Faith, the more Fear, the more Unsettledness. The more Faith, the lesse Fear, the more Stability.
