- 113. Royalty of Faith. Its an Heart emptying-Grace.
There are two things, which are the most natural acts of Faith.
1. It empties a man of himself. 2. It fills the Soul with Christ.
The Soul cannot be filled with Christ, whilst it is full of it self. And therefore Faith doth first empty a man of himself, cast a man out of himself, and then fills the Soul with Christ.
The Soul cannot bee fill'd with Christ, whilest it is full of it self. And therefore Faith doth first empty a man of himself, cast a man out of himself, and then fills the Soul with Christ.
