First, to prove, or to make good what is affirmed, either first by reason and argument, or, secondly, by testimony and authority. When such proofs and reasons, such testimonies and authorities are brought in, as a man can make no exceptions against, or cannot evade nor reply to, then he is convinced. The Apostle giving a description of faith (Heb: 11.1.) saith, It is the substance of things hoped for, 1and the evidence (or conviction) of things not seen. The Spirit of God makes conviction before faith acts. He brings such proofs, such clear evidences, that though the thing be not seen, yet the soul sits down convinced, that it is so, as fully as if we had seen it. The greatest conviction we have to believe, is from authority and testimony; yea, that's properly and only faith, when we consent to a thing upon the testimony and authority of another.
