This assent may be either to the word of the Cre•••, or of the creature. The faith of which now we speak, hath reference to the Creator and his word, and may in general be defined a belief of the truth of God. Faith thus taken, is either common to all, or proper to the elect. That common faith is extraordinary, or ordinary.

dExtraordinary Faith, 2is a belief that some extraordinary and miraculous thing shall fall out. This is grounded either upon some especial promise, or extraordinary revelation made to the party in whom it is: and it is given but at some special times, to some special persons, on some special occasions:e by it things to come may be foretold, or otherf great works done: It is a gift of the Spirit, but one of those which are given, rather for the good of others, then of that party which hath it;g so as it may be in a wicked reprobate,h as in those who shall plead it at Christs Judgement Seat, but in vain. This is that which commonly is called a Miraculo•• Faith.
