'Twas an unhappy division that has been made between faith and works. Though in my intellect I may divide them, just as in the candle I know there is both light and heat, but yet put out the candle, and they are both gone; one remains not without the other: so it is betwixt faith and works. Nay, in a right conception, fides est opus: if I believe a thing because I am commanded, that is opus.–The Table Talk of John Selden.
