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.

Marke the answer of the Apostles here in the text, what shall I do to be saved, saith the Jayler?
They do not answer, there is a Jesus Christ, take thou no more care; he did dye for sinners, and thou shalt do well enough: Nay, this they answer, thou mayest be saved by Christ, but thou must believe in Christ. Not a medicine is the remedy, but a medicine applied. Not the man, but the man taken, becomes the husband; So the taking of Christ, the believing in him is the way to heaven.

Because this is an excellent point (for our life lies in it) give me leave to speak somewhat of faith.
