Faith is the leading grace in all our spiritual warfare and conflict but all along, while we live, it hath faithful company that adheres to it and helps it. Love works, and hope works, and all other graces self-denial, readiness to the cross they all work and help faith. Yet when we come to die, faith is left alone. Now, try what faith will do. Not to be surprised with any thing is the substance of human wisdom not to be surprised with death is a great part of the substance of our spiritual wisdom.
