It is by faith that we are relieved under the difficulties of sense. Sense revolts, when it views our great high Priest on the cross—Faith glories in this object! Sense talks like the Jews: He saved others: himself he cannot save: if he be now the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross, and we will believe him.—Faith lays hold on him as the Saviour of the world, and cries, Lord! remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom! Sense envies the prosperous worldling, and calls him happy—Faith goes into the sanctuary, to see what his end will be.
Richard Cecil — Appendix, in Remains of the Rev. Richard Cecil, with a view of his character by Josiah Pratt (New York: Robert Carter, 1843), p. 240
