Subject religions
for persuasion more
say faith: the more
readily, the greater
the importance

Where the subject matter of fact, or the proposition, is
regarded as belonging to the topic subject of religion, - for instance
where the existence of the matter of fact, or the truth of the proposition, is regarded as having
been asserted by, or by authority from, the Almighty, to characterize
the persuasion in either of these cases, in lieu of
the words persuasion belief or disbelief the word faith has commonly been
employed. And it is the more apt to be employed, the
greater the degree of importance which, in the minds of him by
whom or of them to whom the discourse is addressed, is
attached or supposed to be attached to the matter of fact
or the proposition which is the subject of it. Witness the
examples just brought to view.

5
Faith is oftener
positive than negative.

Faith, - though principally by reason of the mutual interconvertibility that
which, as above, has place between positive and negative expressions, as it
is not a incapable of being employed, according to the subject
matter and form of the proposition, employed as synonymous
to negative persuasion - to disbelief, - is most apt to
be employed seems most frequently to have been employed
as synonymous to positive persuasion - to belief.
