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.

There be three things which lay hard on us.
One is the gilt of sin, which exposeth the soul to hell, and wrath, for which Christ is a Saviour and a Priest. He became a curse for us, and bare our sins, (that is) stood in our stead, and under-went that indignation, which else should have lighted on us.

Another is the corruption or pollution of sin, which breeds inconformity to Gods Will, and depraves the whole nature, for which Christ is a Saviour and a Prophet, (that is) he is appointed to inform the mind, and reform the heart.
