CHAP. VII. Justifying faith is a particular and certain confidence, §. 1. p. 82. 83 The thirsty and burdened soul is invited to come unto Christ, and commanded to believe: p. 83. 84 Justifying faith is opposed to despair, so as to expel it: it breeds confidence and boldness: and receiveth Christ for the conveying of his benefits particularly unto us, p. 84. 85. Faith is certain in the event, not ever in sense, §. 2 p. 85. 86 Things are to us according as we conceive them, which is not ever answerable to the evidence of the thing in it self, or to the certainty in regard of event, p. 86. 87 A Believer, who hath a sure belief, doth not always know that he so believeth, p. 87. 88 Faith as it justifieth is a resting upon Christ to obtain pardon, not an assured persuasion that our sins be already pardoned and forgiven, §. 3. p. 88. 89. 90 Before Justification faith seeketh and receiveth the promise of forgiveness: after Justification it comfortably assureth of the blessing obtained, p. 91. 92 Election is manifested by faith as by its effect: but we are justified by faith as the instrument thereof, §. 4 p. 92

CHAP. VIII. How faith assureth of salvation, §. 1. p. 94. 95 This assurance is such as is shaken with many doubts and difficulties, §. 2. p. 96 The particular certainty of remission of sins, is not equal in certain and firmness of assent, to that assurance which we have about the common object of faith, §. 3. p. 96. 97 There be several states of Believers, but all subject to manifold temptations, §. 4. 98. 99 Belief in Christ for remission is stronger and more necessary then particular assurance of our salvation, §. 5. p. 100 Not only some uncertain hope, but even infallible assurance of salvation is to be sought, and may be obtained, §. 6 p. 101. 102. &c.
