4. With respect to our Comfort. Often in Scripture Faith is represented as a quieting Grace. The Comfort, Quietness, and Peace of the Soul dependeth much upon Faith in Christ, as an all-sufficient Saviour, which banishes our Fears, and makes us in our greatest hardships to trust Christ with all our Happiness, and to feast the Soul with a constant Peace and everlasting Joy. Whether this World be turned upside down, and be dissolved; whether we be in Poverty and Sickness, or in Health or Wealth; whether we be under evil Repute, or good; whether Persecution or Prosperity befall us, how little are we concerned in all these, if we know in whom we have believed? 2. Tim. 1. 12. Heaven is ⟨p. 320⟩where it was before, and Christ is at the right hand of God; how little then should all these things disturb the Peace and Comfort of that Soul, that shall live with God for ever? Psal. 112. 7. But Sin is our greatest trouble. If Sin be your Trouble, I answer, Is it your Infirmity, or Iniquity? If Infirmity, There is no Condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, &c. Rom. 8. 1. If Iniquity? break off your Sin by Repentance, and then there may be Comfort for you; for Christ came to save us from our Sins.
