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.

They could save from some outward misery, the tyranny and §2oppression of the enemy, they have oft-times put back, but from ⟨p. 15⟩inward servitude and thraldom they could never save; they could not deliver the persons from the tyranny of their sins, whom they have been able to deliver from the tyranny of sinful men. But the Son of God can save from inward and spiritual miseries, he can save from sin; Mat. 11. 21. He shall save his people from their sins. Sin hath gilt in it, he saves us from that, by shedding his blood, and procuring remission. Eph. 1. 7. And sin hath pollution in it: He saves us from that, by cleansing the heart; 1 John 1. 9. And sin hath dominion with it; but Christ hath assured that he will make us free, Joh. 8. And that no sin shall have dominion over us, Rom. 6. He can save from Satan, Heb. 2. 14. He did through death destroy him who had the power of death ([…]) the Devil, and ver. 15. did deliver them who through the fear of death were all their life time subject to bondage.
