All other graces thrive in the soul as faith thrives, and no otherwise; be rich in this, and be rich in all; be weak in this, and be weak in all. Faith hath an influence upon all other graces; it is like a silver thread, that runs through a Chain of Pearls, it puts strength and vivacity into all other graces. You never knew a man rich in any grace, that ha's not been rich in faith. Every mans hope, joy, fear, love, humility, patience, &c. is as his faith is. In Heb. 11. 1. Faith is the evidence of things not seen, and the substance of things hoped for. Or as the Greek ha's it, The subsistence of 1things hoped for. All other graces live upon faiths cost and charge. Look what the breast is to the Child, wings to the bird, Oil to the wheels, and the soul to the body, that is faith to all other graces in the soul of man.
