The dead saint speaking to saints and sinners living in several treatisesThe dead saint speaking to saints and sinners living in severall treatises

I have showed you, it was the great thing, which God required to Justification and Salvation of a sinner. And you have seen the Excellency of this Grace laid down in many Glorious Privileges and Royalties. You have seen that God hath poured more honour upon the head of Faith, than upon any other Grace. Let all this persuade with us, to put our selves upon the search and trial, whether we have Faith or no.

I have shewed you, it was the great thing, which God required to Justification and Salvation of a sinner. And you have seen the Excellency of this Grace laid down in many Glorious Priviledges and Royalties. You have seen that God hath poured more honour upon the head of Faith, than upon any other Grace. Let all this perswade with us, to put our selves upon the search and tryal, whether wee have Faith or no.

Put such a question as this to thy own soul. Am I a Believer, yea or no? Have I Faith, yea or no?

It was a duty which the Apostle did commend to the Corinthians, 2 Cor. 13.5. — Examine your selves, whether ye be in the Faith; prove your own selves. And it is that, which, after this long discourse of Faith I would commend to you all. That you would put your selves to the Trial. Examine whether you have Faith or no. Therefore hath God given us a faculty different from all Creatures, whereby we may reflect upon our selves. Many there are, who will winnow others, but not sift themselves: spell others, but not read themselves: searching others rather than themselves. But let it be your care every one to prove and examine himself.
