FERROUS, utterly repugnant to the judgment of de-
PRAYED nature, that through the remaining influence
of unbeef and vain reasoning, the temptations of
Satan, and the subtle arguments with which some
men, reputed wise, attack the foundations of our
faith, the minds even Of believers are sometimes
capable of being shaken. know no better corrobo-
rating evidence for the relief the mind under such
assaults, than the testimony of dying persons, espe
