10. The Lord said to Thomas:

Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou has believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John xx 29.

By this is not meant a faith separate from the internal acknowledgment of truth, but that they are blessed who do not see the Lord with their eyes, as Thomas did, and yet believe that He is; for this is seen in the light of truth from the Lord.
