Seventhly: Yet further, Faith, it works best at the last, and the longer it works, the better; for Faith grows by experience, and the longer that Faith works, the more experience it gets; and the more experience Faith gets, the stronger it is, and therefore Faith works best at the last. Now put all these together, Faith is a Work, and Faith is a Friend to Work, and Faith is the first Worker, and Faith is an Universal Worker, and Faith works best when it works all alone, and Faith works best sometimes in the dark, and Faith works best at the last; and certainly you have the first, namely this, That true saving Faith is a doing Grace, it is a working Grace. But ⟨p. 5⟩§IISecondly: You will say, What are those great things that Faith will do? for we have heard that Faith is a doing Grace, that is the Doctrine; Faith will do, and do great things; but what are those great things that Faith will do still?

Now put al these together, Faith is a Work, and Faith is a Friend to Work, and Faith is the first Worker, and Faith is an Universal Worker, and Faith works best when it works al alone, and Faith works best somtimes in the dark, and Faith works best at the last; and certainly you have the first, namely this, That true saving Faith is a doing Grace, it is a working Grace. But ⟨p. 5⟩§IISecondly: You wil say, What are those great things that Faith will do? for we have heard that Faith is a doing Grace, that is the Doctrine; Faith will do, and do great things; but what are those great things that Faith will do still?

Answ. Faith will do as great things now, surely in Gospel times, new Testament times, as ever in old Testament times; and I shall not instance in those ten Particulars, only so far as to make forth the general Doctrine, and to bring it unto our selves, I shall show you what great things Faith will do still, and shall speak to that more Positively, and absolutely; and then Comparatively.
