4. Weak Faith is an unfeigned Faith, 1 Tim. 1.5. Not a Counterfeit; and Hypocritical Faith: Such an one as never comes to God for Love: but in a Storm for shelter, Psal. 78.34, 35, 36, 37. —When he slew them, then they sought him, and inquired early after God. They remembered God was their strength, and the most High God their Redeemer. — But they flattered him with their mouth, and d ssembled with him, with their Tongue: for their heart was not upright with him, nor were they steadfast in his Covenant. But such a one as comes to him out of Love, desires nothing more than to enjoy him: to enjoy Him, rather than His.
