Q. 5. Does it not concern every man, then, to make sure of this Faith? This, that is given to make things to come as if they were at hand, and things unseen as if we saw them.
A. It doth infinitely concern every man. For, 1. It is not so common a thing, as most do imagine it. 2. Till you have it, you are no living Members of Christ. 3. Till you have it, you are at enmity with God. 4. Till you have it, you are under the guilt of all your sins. No one of them is forgiven. 5. Till you have it, you will be carnally minded: and through' the carnal end you will have in them, your works that be good materially, will be corrupt and fleshly. 6. Till you have it, you have no right to Heaven; Joh. 3. 16, 18, 36. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.
