Gods way is not as your way (says Faith) nor his thoughts as your thoughts; but as the Heavens are above the earth, so are his thoughts beyond yours, and his ways beyond your. Faith lodges this principle into the Soul, that God is infinite; and having laid that principle there, when difficulties and discouragements do arise, saying, you see now into what distress you are brought, now you see there is no hope at all for you deliverance; true indeed, says the Believer through the strength of Faith, I see there is no way in any one reason, but God is infinite; I see many difficulties, but God is infinite: the soul by Faith being filled with the apprehension of Gods infiniteness, hereby is carried through all difficulties and discouragements to Jesus Christ.
