The First Act Of Religion,

Faith Is The Virtue By Which, Clinging-to The Faithfulness Of God, We Lean Upon Him, So That We May Obtain What He Gives To Us.

The Ordinary Ministry Is That Which Receives All Of Its Direction From The Will Of God Revealed In The Scriptures And From Those Means Which God Has Appointed In The Church For Its Continual Edification.

Nothing Exists From Eternity But God, And God Is Not The Matter Or A Part Of Any Creature, But Only The Maker.

Hearing The Word Is The Devout Receiving Of The Will Of God.

The Efficiency Of God May Be Understood As Either Creation Or Providence.
