Look into Gods children, how greatly they lament their unbelief▪ look into David, look on Job; look on the late and blessed Martyr of God Bradford, who almost in all his1 books, and in every meditation complaineth of his unbelief; notwithstanding that he was a man so rich in the graces of God, so throughly mortified to the world, so stayed in faith; and yet the nearer he came daily to Christ, the more he still crieth against unbelief. Wherefore Paul seeing this to be a common disease among all men, saith, This is a faithful thing, and worthy of all men to be remembered, That Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners: this is a faithful saying, with such like speeches, which the Apostle useth as preparatives to stir up our faith.
