“Witness [Cardinal, Robert] Bellarmine's final statement:
him, "It is the safest way to trust only to the merits of Christ for life and salvation." He said as much in a clause in his will. Cardinal Poole rigorously contended at the council of Trent (though in vain) for justification to be determined by faith alone. The theology in these mens' consciences was purer than that in their heads.”

“What is the reason that many Christians are so unfixed in their thoughts of themselves and their conditions, and are at such ebbs and flows in their opinion of their estates, but because their eye is more upon what is in them and what is done by them than what is in Christ and what He did for them; it is good to look at home, but not to rest here.”
