Ask any, who are weakest in Faith: whether they would sell their part in Christ for a World: whether they would deny Christ to gain a World? and they will quickly answer it, with an earnest Negative, as Naboth did Ahab when he would have bought of him his Vineyard, 1 King. 21.2, 3.

Whereas a temporizing Faith doth hold to Christ for want of a temptation, as the Weather-cock, that stands this way for want of another wind: A true Faith, though weak, will hold to Christ, out of Love; nothing shall take it away, in the midst of all temptations. It is of the Nature of true Faith, though never so weak, to adhere and cleave to Christ, Rom. 3.8. — Thou hast but a little strength: yet thou hast kept my Word, and hast not denied my name.
