Petition 6 › Section 202: §. 202. Of the matter of humiliation gathered out of the last Petition.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
A. 1. A dead and naked faith. 1In the former Petition faith in Christ for pardon of sin is professed. In this Petition a manifestation of the truth of that faith by forsaking sin, and by performing all duties of righteousness, is intimated. To profess faith, and not to declare it by the fruits thereof, is much to be lamented, as a thing dishonourable to God, disgraceful to the Gospel of Christ, aduantageable to Satan, and damageable to the souls of such vain Professors. S. Jude doth much bewail them.2
