“Thou wouldst not seek Me, if thou didst not possess Me.
"Be not therefore troubled."
[Pg 152]
SECTION VIII THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION 555
... Men blaspheme what they do not know. The Christian religion consists in two points. It is of equal concern to men to know them, and it is equally dangerous to be ignorant to them. And it is equally of God's mercy that He has given indications of both.
And yet they take occasion to conclude that one of these points does not exist, from that which should have caused them to infer the other.”
