Excerpt: ... tempted, if not with their lips, yet in their hearts; instead of learning, in the patience of approved faith, that the trial will, in God's purpose and will, tend to salvation. If that end is not attained in the case of many, who fall in the trial--that was not of God! The sincere should in faith firmly hold fast the conviction that God is faithful, who will not suffer them to be tempted above what they are able, but with the temptation open a way of escape, that they may be able to bear it (1 Cor. x. 13).
