If It Were Art To Overcome Heresy

I Do Not Deny That Medicine Is A Gift Of God, Nor Do I Refuse To Acknowledge Science In The Skill Of Many Physicians; But, Take The Best Of Them, How Far Are They From Perfection? A Sound Regimen Produces Excellent Effects. When I Feel Indisposed, By Observing A Strict Diet And Going To Bed Early, I Generally Manage To Get Round Again, That Is, If I Can Keep My Mind Tolerably At Rest. I Have No Objection To The Doctors Acting Upon Certain Theories, But, At The Same Time, They Must Not Expect Us To Be The Slaves Of Their Fancies.

Those Speak Foolishly Who Ascribe Their Anger Or Their Impatience To Such As Offend Them Or To Tribulation. Tribulation Does Not Make People Impatient, But Proves That They Are Impatient. So Everyone May Learn From Tribulation How His Heart Is Constituted.

Truly Speech Has Wonderful Strength And Power, That Through A Mere Word, Proceeding Out Of The Mouth Of A Poor Human Creature, The Devil, That So Proud And Powerful Spirit, Should Be Driven Away, Shamed And Confounded.

Your God Is Altogether Too Human.

This Is True Faith, A Living Confidence In The Goodness Of God.
