3. THIS Faith respects the Person of Christ, his Grace, his whole Mediation, with all the Effects of it, and his Glory in them all. This is that which hath been so much insisted on in the foregoing Discourses, as that it ought not to be again insisted on: This therefore is the issue of the whole. A steady view of the Glory of Christ, in his Person, Grace, and Office, through Faith, or a constant lively Exercise of Faith on him, according as he is revealed unto us in the Scripture, is the only effectual way to obtain a Revival from under our Spiritual Decays, and such Supplies of Grace as shall make us Flourishing and Fruitful even in Old Age. He that thus lives by Faith in him, shall by his Spiritual thriving and growth, show, That the Lord is upright, that he is our Rock, and that there is no unrighteousness in him.

WE may consider briefly: First, How this is is testified unto in the Scripture, and then what are the ways whereby this Grace, or Duty will produce this effect, and so put a close unto this part of the Application of the Sacred Truth before declared.
