“Faith substantiates or gives a subsistence to our hopes, and demonstrates things not seen” (Page 323)
“In short, by faith things hoped for have a being; things not seen have an evidence” (Page 324)
“The acts of faith are two; it is the substance, it is the evidence” (Page 323)
“Faith makes all things certain, and in a sort already present; but hope looks out for a full accomplishment” (Page 325)
“The effects of faith are reckoned up throughout this chapter; the formal acts of faith are in this verse” (Page 323)
How hard and successful a student he was, and how frequent and laborious a preacher, and how highly and deservedly esteemed; all this, and more, is commonly known.
Ministers who do not know Manton need not wonder if they are themselves unknown.
The fertility of his mind seems to have been truly astonishing. Every page in his books contains many ideas . . . I regard Manton as a divine of singularly well-balanced, well-proportioned, and scriptural views. . . . As an expositor of Scripture, I regard Manton with unmingled admiration.
Perhaps few men of the age in which he lived had more virtues and fewer failings.
