Excerpt from The Epistle of James: Practically Explained

Since now the mode of development is so dif ferent in the two cases, so also will be the form which faith assumes in each. To the one, the new state to which he has attained will seem but as the aim and completion of that earlier one, which by many progressive steps conducted to and ended in it; and that earlier form of life, out of which he passed into this new state, will always remain to him a dear and familiar one. To the view of the other, the new state will present itself as in direct opposition to the old. These two forms of concep tion are both founded in truth; each will, in its peculiar manner, contribute to the gio'y and fur therence of Christianity. The first is especially adapted to show, how all that preceded this new state was designed to prepare the way for. It; and here the change will manifest itself in a less stri king form. The second is certainly the more thor ough and profound, - presenting a more complete development of the new life in its essential nature, in which it is exalted above all else.
