Who is he among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, &c. Mark 9.24. And straightway the father of the child cried out with tears, Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief.

Q. 11. Is no man actually justified till he believe?
A. No, he cannot be justified actually till he believe actually, Gal. 3.22. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. John 3.18. He that believeth on him, is not condemned: ⟨p. 164⟩but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God.
