§. 39. Whether Faith and doubting may stand together.
Answ. Yea, it can: for what the Apostle saith of knowledge, may we apply to other Christian graces, even to the mother of them all, Faith; awe believe in part: The man that said,b Lord I believe, yet doubted: for he added, help my unbelief. This doubting is not of the nature of Faith, but rather contrary unto it, arising from the flesh which remaineth in us, so long as we remain in the World:3 therefore the more strength Faith getteth, the more is doubting driven away. Yet as the Spirit in truth may be where the flesh is, so in truth may Faith be where doubting is: but as we must strive to subdue the flesh, so also must we strive to dispel doubting.
