As in Solomons Temple, there was Light set against Light: so here you must set Light against Light. As for example. Inquiry is made, whether I have Faith or no. Answer is given in upon ⟨p. 137⟩the scrutiny; That I have Faith. It is well. But now prove this. Why how? Set Light against Light. See an evidence of that evidence. The Word saith — Faith purifies the heart, Act. 15.9. Faith sanctifies the heart. Faith works by Love, Gal. 5.6.
Now then. Is thy heart cleansed from filthiness? Art thou sanctified, &c.
The like in another. Inquiry is made, whether a man love God, yea or no. It may be the heart gives up this answer, that he doth love God. Why, but now prove it. — He that loves God, keeps his Commandments, Joh. 14.15. He that loves God will obey him; will not displease him. He who loves God will not sin.
