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.

(as if he said) this is the very person whom God hath appointed to rule over us. In like manner, because the ⟨p. 19⟩Son of God is made a Christ, because he is anointed, we may infallibly conclude, that that person, who was God and man, was appointed, and singularly designed to be our Saviour and Redeemer; so that we may with John, point at him, Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world.
