3. A great faith is firm and steadfast; weak faith is frequently shaken with 1fears and doubts. A great Faith is like an Oak, that spreads its roots deep, and is not easily blown down. Col. 2. 7. A great Faith is like the Anchor, or Cable of a Ship, that holds it steady in the midst of storms*. A Christian who is steeled with this heroic Faith, is settled in the Mysteries of Religion. The Spirit of God hath so firmly printed heavenly truths upon his heart, that you may as well remove the Sun out of the Firmament, as remove him from those holy Principles he hath sucked in. Behold here, a Pillar in the Temple of God*.
