People brought up at sea learn to swim and when waves and billows rise they are not surprised at it; but those who are not used to these things when even a little sea comes up take fright and go under. So it is with Christians. As the mind of a child of three cannot take in or understand the mind of a grownup reasoner because there is a great difference of age between them so Christians contemplate the world like infant children with their eyes fixed upon the measure of grace. They are strangers
