SECT. XVI. Of assurance of Pardon, Justification and Salvation And whether it be Faith.
224. The Faith by which we are justified is not a believing that •• •• justified, but a believing that we may be justified: Not a believing t•• Christ is ours more than other mens, or that we shall be saved; but • believing in Christ that he may be ours, and we may be saved by him.
225. There is assurance in this Faith; not assurance that we are s• cere, or shall be saved: But assurance that Gods Promises and all •• Words are true, and that he will perform them; and that Christ •• the Saviour of the world, and that the love of God is our End •••• Happiness, and that all this is offered to us in Christ, even Pardon ••• Life, as well as others; which offer Faith accepteth truly; But the Believer is oft uncertain of the sincerity of his own belief, and so of •• Salvation.
