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.

SECT. I.
For the word (justification) it hath a double acception amongst Writers.
FOr the word (justification) it hath a double acception amongst Writers.
1. One Intrinsical, and so it signifies to make a man just by an act of infusion (that is) by the implantation of sanctified or holy qualities.
2. Another Forinsecal, and so it signifies to repute or pronounce a man just by an act of jurisdiction, (that is) a judiciary sentence to pronounce him righteous, and free from gilt and condemnation.
And thus is it (for ought I can learn) altogether used and sensed in the Scriptures, which speak of our justification before God (viz.) for such an action of God, whereby after the manner of a Judge he absolveth and acquitteth an accused person.
