It Is A General Idea,

...thomas Did Not Believe The Resurrection [john 20:25], And, As They Say, Would Not Believe Without Having Ocular And Manual Demonstration Himself. So Neither Will I, And The Reason Is Equally As Good For Me, And For Every Other Person, As For Thomas.

It Is With A Pious Fraud As With A Bad Action; It Begets A Calamitous Necessity Of Going On.

If There Must Be Trouble, Let It Be In My Day, That My Child May Have Peace.

Immediate Necessity Makes Many Things Convenient, Which If Continued Would Grow Into Oppressions.

Time Makes More Converts Than Reason.
