The excellency of holy courage in evil times by Jeremiah Burroughs

Secondly: There is a relying Work of Faith: the Soul having these things discovered in the Glory and power and reality of them: Faith comes to close with these things, and to cast it self upon this Glorious Rich free Grace of God, and venture its self and all its good upon it.

Thirdly, The Soul having thus ventured upon the free Grace of God, it makes a surrender of its self up unto Christ. To unite it self to him: I do not only desire to draw Christ to me; to be made mine. But I give up my self to Jesus Christ to be his. In uniting of two things I do not only lay one thing upon another, but join the other to that; and so in uniting the Soul to Christ, there is not only a bringing of Christ to the Soul, but a surrendering of the Soul to Christ: to him in him, to him, and for him, and to be satisfied with him; And when Faith comes to discover with power, the Glory and reality of the great Mysteries of the Gospel, enabling it to cast and roll it self, for all its good upon this way and surrender its self up to Christ to be wholly his, here is the work of Faith that delivers from this spiritual Egypt.
