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.

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.

A third is the rebellion of sin, rising in sinful notions, and sordid delights and ways, for which Christ is a Saviour and a King, (that is) he is to subdue those iniquities, to give them the bill of divorce, to captivate all imaginations, and to bring the whole man into the subjection of himself; but then he will be Jesus and Lord too; thou mayest not think that Christ must save thee, and sin shall rule thee; thou must not think that he will pay thy debts, if thou wilt give thy heart and service to sin and the world. How ridiculous is it to conceive that God should raise up Christ, as the Pope raiseth up his indulgences, only to keep or fetch souls out of Purgatory; as if Christ were given only to pay our scores, and not to rule our hearts, for no other end but to keep us out of prison, that we might do nothing but sin against God, because Christ can take away the gilt of sin.
