No wonder, that men of great parts (wanting Faith) do fall off from Christ, and betray his Cause.

No wonder, that men of great parts (wanting Faith) doe fall off from Christ, and betray his Cause.

IF it be Faith that must carry men through sufferings,¹ and such a kind of Faith as you have had opened to you; learn then not to be offended, when you see men fall off in the time of trial; for all men have not Faith: we should be no more troubled at it, then when we see dry leaves fall off the Tree by a strong Wind: If they want the Principle that should carry them through, what wonder is it if they fall away? Whatsoever mens parts or gifts be, whatsoever profession they make, yet if the shine of Faith appears not in them, we are to expect nothing else from them; where there are but natural Principles, there it is not to be expected that Nature should be denied, when any great thing comes cross unto it.
