Doctrine 6.
1That it is an unvaluable blessing when husband and wife, Father and child, and child's child live and die in the true faith. These all died in faith. Not only some of them, but all. Abraham the husband, and Sarah his wife. Abraham the Father, and Isaac his Son, and Jacob his Grand-child. All these died in the faith. Behold a true noble blood, a holy kindred, a blessed generation. Worthy is Abraham of all honour who was the root of such a noble and blessed brood. And worthy are Isaac and Jacob of so good a Father, who stained not their blood by forsaking their faith, but held it as they received it, and lived and died in the true faith handed to them by their Father.
