The Ten Commandments require outward civil works, which reason can in some way produce. But they also require other things placed far above reason: truly to fear God, truly to love God, truly to call upon God, truly to be convinced that God hears us, and to expect God's aid in death and in all afflictions. Finally it requires obedience to God, in death and all afflictions, so that we may not run from these commandments or refuse them when God lays them upon us.
~BOC, AP, IV (II), 8
