" I knew nothing at that time of the systematic or dogmatic kind of faith, that God the Father imputes the righteousness or merits of his Son to whomsoever, and at whatever times, he wills, even to the impenitent. And had I heard of such a faith, it would have been then, as now, perfectly unintelligible to me.
Page 327 - Saviour, on which foundation, if no temple should now be built, lupanaria (brothels) would be erected.
