Faith, not Feeling
All the Reformers were of the opinion that saving faith consisted if not exclusively then certainly also in knowledge. Not one of them allowed faith to be reduced to an unconscious feeling or mental state. But the knowledge that was an element in saving faith was certainly very different in kind from that of historical faith. The latter might later on be of benefit to saving faith; but it changed thereby in character and began to live by a new principle.
