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.

In respect of conditions. He is not the Saviour of the great §3and mighty only, nor of the poor, and desperate only, but the one and the other shall be saved by Christ: The Salvation of the ••ch is not in his wealth, but in his Christ: Neither shall the poor person be excluded, because of his poverty, but all sorts of persons, high and low, rich and poor may find Christ to be a Saviour.
In respect of relations. He is not the Saviour of the Master §4,only, but even of his lowest servant; not of the husband only, but of the wife; not of the father only, but of the child; not of the Prince only, but of the subject also. The Apostle hath said enough, Gal. 3. 28. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
