I have not time, I see, to tell you how Faith works by love, which much water cannot quench, stronger then death. And how Faith is strengthened with the strength of the power of God that it lays hold upon. As the Ivy is strong by the strength of the oak that it grasps upon: so Faith is strong by the strength of that God that it grasps upon.
