The humbled sinner resolved what he should do to be saved. Or Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the only way of salvation for sensible sinners. Discovering the quality, object, acts, seat, subject, inseparable concomitants and degrees of justifying faith. The agreement and difference of a strong and weak faith; the difficulty of believing, the facility of mistake about it, and the misery of unbelief. The nature of living by faith, and the improvement of it to a full assurance. Wherein several cases are resolved, and objections answered. / By Obadiah Sedgwick, Bachelor in Divinity and late minister of the Gospel in Covent Garden.The humbled sinner resolved what he should do to be saved.

Jesus signifies a Saviour: as it was a name imposed from the 1pleasure of heaven, by an Angel, Mat. 1. 21. Thou shalt cast his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. The first name that you read of imposed on Christ in the New-Testament, is this name of Jesus; for the best name that sinners could possibly desire to hear, was this, that God hath provided a Saviour for them. The Prophet Isaiah 9. 6. saith, that his name shall be called wonderful, and indeed Jesus is a wonderful name: It is a name which breeds just wonder and admiration to all the world, to men and Angels; it may make our hearts to wonder at the hyperbole, of Gods love (as one of the Fathers speaks) that he 2should (notwithstanding our vile deserts) bestow a Saviour upon us, who else had been lost for ever.
