A. The first foundation or prop of Faith is the power of God, Rom. 4.20, 21. He staggered not at the promise through unbelief: but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. ⟨p. 165⟩Heb. 7.25. —He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, &c.

Q. 4. What's the second prop of Faith?
A. The truth and faithfulness of God in his promises, Heb. 10.23. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that hath promised, Heb. 6.18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lye, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.
