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.

Therefore we read of the pouring forth of the spirit on him, and 1that without measure, in a most eminent fullness, even to an overflowing. There was no want of holiness which the Law could require, either for nature or actions, and no word of power to suffer or conquer. Yea, he was so adorned and beautified with abilities to save, that he did not only at once go through the hard task of our Redemption, but he still distils virtue down by his Spirit, to save us more and more from our corruption, &c.

A sweet and pleasant acceptation both to God and man, look as the §3anointing Oil which in the Law was reserved and bestowed by Gods appointment, was compounded of the most fragrant and exquisite spices, to intimate the sweet composition of Gifts and Graces, so when it was poured forth it did cast abroad a most delightful favour. In like manner doth the anointing of Christ imply, A most marvellous and gracious acceptation.
