Last Judgment (Post) (Rogers) n. 163

163. [163.] 29. There are also some who wish to hear truths, believing that they are saved if they simply know them; but when they hear that truths look to life, and that only insofar as truths of life are put into practice do truths of faith become living, they then go away. At the mention of life they are totally nauseated, but not so at the mention of truths which are matters of faith, because it is possible for them to talk about these. (Enumerate truths of faith which are not living unless truths of life are put into practice. Say what truths are truths of faith, and what truths are truths of life.)
