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.

CHAP. VI. The object of Justifying faith.
Now I come to the object of Justifying faith, and that is twofold. First, Immediate, which is Jesus Christ our Lord. Secondly, Concomitant, Objectum. or Consequent, which is Remission, and Righteousness, and Salvation for faith: first, takes Christ himself, and then these, in and for Christ.

SECT. I.
The immediate object of faith, as justifying, is Jesus Christ himself; as it is in Marriage, marriage is an action twixt person and person, not twixt person and estate, that is a resulting thing; so is it in the nature of faith and Christ. Faith doth not match the soul to the portion, to the benefits, but to the person of Christ.
