2. Some Evidences are taken from the Grace it self. In which, because Faith doth admit of degrees; some having stronger Faith, some weaker. Though all of us have (as it is in 2 Pet. 1.1.) — The like precious Faith, the same Faith for kind: yet all have not the same Faith for degrees. In some it is strong, in some it is weak: Sincere in all. All men are not of like age: all Trees not of the like growth. We read of a little Faith. — Oh ye of little Faith! Faith, though little. We read of a great Faith. — Oh Woman! great is thy Faith. All Believers are not of the like stature in Christ. Some are but Babes, and some are grown men; there's a little Faith comparatively: and there's a great Faith. Therefore lest I should unsure the weak in satisfying the strong, I will here give you 1. Some Evidences of a weak Faith. 2. Some Evidences of a strong Faith.
