From the nature of Faith: Though it do not make the thing 1believed to be, (the Act cannot create its own Object,) yet applying it, it makes it the Believers. It is the bond of union between the soul and the thing promised. He that believes in Christ, by that believing receives Christ, Joh. 1. 12. he becomes his. It is a grace uniting its subject and object, the person believing, and the thing believed. There needs no ascending into Heaven or descending, the word of faith makes all things nigh, even within us. Some ⟨p. 29⟩2glasses will present things of a great distance very near: Faith looking through the glass of the Gospel, makes the most remote mercies to be not only in a close distance, but in Union. It is the subsistence of things hoped for, that which they have not in themselves, it gives them in the full assured minds of believers.
