As God the Father is before the Son in Nature, yet not in Time. Hee is not a Father till hee have a Son. So is it to bee understood concerning Faith, and all other Graces.
2. Faith raiseth us up from the Death of inward Troubles. As the sense of Gods Love, the apprehension of his favour is the life of the Soul, Psal. 30.5. — In his favour is Life. So the sense of Gods Displeasure is the Death of the Soul, Psal. 88.10. Shall the Dead arise to praise thee? He speaks of that spiritual Desertion in which he was, labouring under the sense of Gods wrath and displeasure; which he calls the Death of the Soul. — Shall the Dead arise to praise thee? Shall my Soul, dead and sunk with discouragements, and apprehensions of thy wrath; Shall it arise to praise thee? So that this is the Death of the Soul.
