By one Desirous to promote the common Salvation.

Hebrews 11. 1. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the Evidence of things not seen.

Q. 1. What means the Apostle by these words? A. He means, that tho' the glory promised to Believers, and expected by them, be yet to come, and only hoped for; and be yet unseen, and only believed: yet is the sound Believer as truly affected with it, and acted by its attractive force, as if it were present and before his eyes. Or thus; That the Nature and Use of Faith is to be as it were instead of Presence, Possession, and Sight. Or, to make the things that will be, as if they were already in existence; and the unseen things which God revealeth, as if our bodily eyes beheld them.
