IN handling heretofore the Doctrine of the conversion of a sinner, I declared and showed you what mans misery was, and what that great hope of mercy is that the Lord proposeth to the greatest sinner in the world. I showed unto you the means whereby we may be made partakers of Christ; and that was by the grace of faith, which doth let fall all other things in a mans self, and comes with an open and empty hand, to lay hold on Christ, and fill it self with him. I showed you also the acts of Faith as it justifies.
