As Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Call, so it doth go forth in the Sense of what God and Christ hath done for the Soul; I know Faith, and Sense, and Feeling differ; but I say, Faith is very sensible of what the Father hath done, and what Christ hath done for poor sinners; and when a man is very sensible of what great things God hath done, and Christ hath done, then saith a man, Shall God do such great things for me? and shall Christ do such great things for me? and shall not I do great things again for God and Christ? Faith is very sensible of what God and Christ hath done for sinners. And thus Faith makes a man do great things for God, Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Power, Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Promise, Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Call, and Faith goes forth in the Sense of what God and Christ hath done for the Soul. And thus it comes to pass that Faith will do very great things. And thus now I have done with the Doctrinal Part; I come to the Application.

As Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Cal, so it doth go forth in the Sence of what God and Christ hath done for the Soul; I know Faith, and Sence, and Feeling differ; but I say, Faith is very sensible of what the Father hath done, and what Christ hath done for poor sinners; and when a man is very sensible of what great things God hath done, and Christ hath done, then saith a man, Shal God do such great things for me? and shal Christ do such great things for me? and shal not I do great things again for God and Christ? Faith is very sensible of what God and Christ hath done for sinners.

And thus it comes to pass that Faith wil do very great things. And thus now I have done with the Doctrinal Part; I come to the Application.

Applic. 1 If this Doctrine be true, True saving Faith will do great things, and very great things; then we may here see the reason why men do no great things for God, why men do no great things in their Generation, and why there are no great things in their Generation, and why there are no great things found in mens Conversation, no great things for the most part; It is because men do want this true saving Faith, it is a working Grace, an active Grace; and therefore if I be not a worker for God, it argues I have none of this Faith: True saving Faith, it will do great things for God; what shall we say to those that cannot do small things? It's a small thing to leave drunken Company, a small thing to leave a foolish Fashion, a small thing to leave an idle word, Faith, or Troth; men cannot do small things; true saving Faith will do great things, and very great things. O! What shall we say of those that are so far from doing gret things, that they cannot do small things? have they Faith? Let not men be deceived: I say again, true saving Faith will do very great things. Was it not a very great matter for a young man brought up in the Court, to leave all the Court Preferment, and to choose Affliction wih the People of God, rather than the Preferments of the Court? this Moses did by Faith. Was it not a great matter for a People to venture into the Sea, merely upon a Command? thi Faith made the People do.
