Error II.
That Justification by Faith is no more but a manifestation to us of what was really done before we had a being. Hence Mr. Saltmarsh thus defines Faith. It is (saith he) a being persuaded more or less of Christ's love to us; so that when we believe, that which was hid before, doth then appear. God (saith another) cannot charge one sin upon that man, who believes ⟨p. 320⟩this truth, That God laid his Iniquities upon Christ.

Error III.
That men ought not to doubt of their Faith, or question, Whether they believe or no. Nay, That we ought no more to question our Faith, than to question Christ. Saltm. Of Free-grace, p. 92, 95.
