There be two main branches of faith. 1One is spiritual conviction, and persuasion, that things are so good, and that they belong to us. Another branch of faith is to go out, and close, and meet with the things. Upon discovery of the excellency of the things; the heart opens it self to let in those things.

A man may know what he is in religion by his affections, by his affection of love: for the affection of love, will open to the things that are discovered to be best whereof he is persuaded, and his affection of joy, h will delight in those thing: and his affection of grief, his heart will be shut to things that are contrary: and his affection of zeal, in the psute of the means, and in opposing that that is an enemy to that good, it is alway so, the heart embraceth what we are persuaded of.
