1. The Evidences of true Faith, though weak.
1. The weakest Faith hath strong desires to close with Christ in the Terms of the Gospel: Is willing to take Christ in the whole latitude and extent of Christ: not only totum Christum: but totum Christi: Christ in all his Offices: not only as a Priest, but as a King; to whom the soul is as willing to yield Subjection, as to have Salvation from him; as desirous to submit to his services, as to enjoy his Privileges; to do duty, as to partake of his bounty; to throw it self at the feet of Christ, with strong desires, though (it may be for the present) but with weak assurance of Mercy from him.
