First sentence: THE character of the times in which we live is such as to call forth from us even this admonition, that we ought not to be astonished at the heresies [which abound]; neither their existence ought to surprise us, for it was foretold that they should come to pass; nor the fact that they subvert the faith of some, for their final cause is, by affording a trial to faith, to give it also the opportunity of being "approved."
