- 115. Royalty. Faith is an Heart-raising-Grace.
There is a threefold Death, that Faith doth raise up the soul from.
1. The Death of Sin. ⟨p. 113⟩2. The Death of inward Trouble. 3. The Death of outward Trouble.
1. Faith raiseth up the soul from the Death of Sin. We are all of us — Dead (by nature) in trespasses and sins, Ephes. 2.1. Dead-Born. And as dead men, so we have no notion to spiritual things, no motion, no strength to any good; no sense, being insensible of the weight of sin, insensible of mercies and judgements: we have no desires after any thing good, no affection to them.
