The doubting believer, or, A treatiseThe doubting beleever, or, A treatise

Matth. 14. 31. O thou of little ¹faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Little faith, and great doubtings go together; like a little heart, and great mists. Some men are but Babes in Christ, they are but plants in the garden, they are but lambs in the fold: Now children are apt to fear, and plants to shake, and lambs to flag behind, and weak believers to doubt: Lay a little burden on ²a child's shoulder, he knows not what to do; show him the water, he cries out: So is it with weak believers; Their strength is not proportioned ⟨p. 28⟩unto unusual exigences; Neither have they experiences, nor that quickness of art to high them to their helps.
