Q. 4. What is the seat or habitation of Faith?
A. Not only the Head or Understanding, but principally the Heart and Will, Rom. 10.10. —With the heart man believeth unto righteousness, &c. Acts 8.37. And Philip said, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
Q. 5. But is not the assent of the understanding true Faith?
A. The mere assent of the Understanding to the Truths of Scripture, is not such a Faith as will save the Soul, Jam. 2.19. ⟨p. 163⟩Thou believest that there is one God, thou doest well; the devils also believe and tremble.
