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.

We have found §2the Messiah which is by interpretation the Christ, and this is a sweet word unto us, that Jesus was Christ, that he, who was our Saviour, was anointed. The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings, Isaiah 61. 1. And he was anointed with the Oil of gladness, Psal. 45. 7. will you give me leave to let you see much excellencies in this short word? We do speak much of Jesus, and yet we are ignorant of the form of his saving; and we hear much of Christ, but perhaps we understand not what force, what comfort, what happiness is couched therein; therefore I will unfold unto you, 1. What this anointing of our Saviour doth import. 2. Unto what he was anointed.
