Hebrews 11:1-3

Mace(i) 1 Now faith is the foundation of our hopes of happiness, and the persuasion we have about things not evident to our senses. 2 and it was for their faith that our fore-fathers acquired so great a reputation. 3 'Tis by faith we learn that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the visible world was not made out of any thing that did appear.
