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.

TO THE Reader.
Christian Reader,
IT is sufficient commendation to the ensuing Treatise to let thee know, that it was Written and completed by Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick in the time of his health. It hath now pleased God by sickness to disenable him for public service in the way of preaching, and if by Printing that he hath formerly preached, he may become further useful to the Church of Christ, as it will be much comfort to him, so I doubt not but it will be matter of much rejoicing, and great benefit unto many others. These Sermons handle the doctrine of justifying faith, and if they shall prove instrumental, either to work or increase faith in thee, Let God have the glory, and the Author thy fervent prayers for his recovery.
