The holy Eucharist, or, The mystery of the Lords Supper briefly explained

5. A great Faith can swim against Tide; it can go c•oss to sense ¹and reason. Corrupt reason saith as Peter, Master, Pity thy self. Faith saith, It is better to suffer, than sin. ⟨p. 94⟩Reason consults safety; Faith will hazard safety, to preserve Sanctity. A Believer can sail to Heaven, though the Tide of Reason, and the Wind of Temptation be against him^*.

Abraham in the case of sacrificing his Son, did not call Reason to the Counsel-board: When God said, Offer up thy son Isaac, it was enough to pose not only fleshly wisdom, but even Faith too; for here, the commands of God did seem to interfere.
