Image
Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it.

As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst he promises honor, and pays with disgrace he promises pleasure, and pays with pain he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises all his payments are made in pure gold.
