Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Faith, Hope, and Charity: The Substance of a Sermon Preached at the Catholic Chapel at Bradford, in the County of York, on Wednesday, July 27, 1825
Faith serves as a remedy for our natural defects, and supplies the place of knowledge. It teaches us to believe, without doubting, doctrines which we cannot comprehend, on the testimony of God, who has taught them'. It teaches us to put a restraint on the daring flights of reason, and to confine within its proper limits this noblest of our natural gifts; to employ it in examining the grounds upon which revelation rests, but not in discussing the credibility of any subject which it discovers to have been revealed to wait with patience 'till our faculties are enlarged, and the obstacles to our knowledge removed, and in the mean time, with the humility and simplicity of children, to receive, venerate and love the hidden and mysterious truths taught us by the invisible and incomprehensible Deity.
