But God is angry with thee, thou art a guilty Creature, and by thy sins hast fallen under his wrath and displeasure; how wilt thou do for that? why, I'll trust Christ for that, he shall be my Propitiation, he shall make peace for me, and he will do so, 1 John 2. 2. O but thou art an unclean and polluted Creature, and there's no unclean thing can enter into that holy Land, How wilt thou do for that? I'll trust Christ for that also, he shall be my Sanctification, and he will be so, 1 Cor. 1. 30.

3. Faith comprehends under it the resigning up our selves to the government and guidance of the truth of God, our actual living under the power of truth; not only our holding the truth, but our suffering the truth to take hold of us, to rule us, and order us in our whole course. 'Tis the same state that both are in, both those that believe not the truth, and those that obey not the truth. Faith is not only a resting on Christ as our Saviour, but a resigning our selves to him as our Lord and King.
