      In the order of nature, faith must be placed first.  The apostle follows in the order of practical working.  Furthest down in man’s inner nature is the deep well of a purified heart; then the love, as it comes forth into exercise, must be arrested on its way by a good conscience, to receive restraint and regulation; then, to sustain the vigour of love in its continuous exercise, there must be faith unfeigned, grasping the promises of God, and in intimate relation to things not seen. …

      How often does the heart determine the bias of the mind!
