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.
Good Reader,
This Treatise commendeth it self to thy acceptance upon a double account, the one is the known worth of the Author, the other is the great usefulness of the subject matter: The Author is Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, no novice in the things of God, but one that for a long time, both beyond the seas, and at home, in City and in Country, hath kept up the vigour of a convincing Ministry, which the Lord hath abundantly prospered to the converting of some, and building up of others, and no doubt to the conviction of many more, who shall one day know that a Prophet of the Lord hath been amongst them: Besides, one of an exemplary godliness, and long experience in the ways of God; of whose excellent spirit the world hath had a sufficient taste in those choice Treatises that are already published under his name; certainly from such an able head, and holy heart, nothing can be expected that is cheap and mean.
