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.

Whole Christ is the adequate and proper object; Christ you know (in respect of his person) is God and man, and he may be considered as a Priest, or as a Prophet, or as a King We usually say as a Saviour, and as a Lord. Now he offers himself in all these to sinners: saith Christ there is no Name under heaven by which you can be saved but me, no Jesus but my self, and I have been the Priest, who have offered my heart blood to procure the pardon of your sins, and salvation: I have satisfied my ⟨p. 42⟩Father to the utmost, and have fulfilled all righteousness, Now I am willing to bestow my self on you, as one who can and will assuredly save you. But if you would have me to be your Priest to save you, you must also be willing to have me to be your Prophet to instruct you, and direct you; and to be your King and Lord to command you; you must resign up your self to my Sceptre and Government; for I am a Lord as well as a Saviour, and I will be taken in both, or else you shall have part in neither.
