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.

Another is the gilt and punishment; and with this doth Justification deal. Suppose you saw a sick thief, there are two sorts of persons to deal with him; a Physician, because he is sick, and a Judge because he is a thief; If the Judge acquit or pardon him, this clears him as a thief and guilty person, if the Physician heal and cure him, this respects him as a sick and diseased person, the case is our own. Now I say that God in justification remits or absolves the sinner. Two things are here considerable, First, quid; secondly, quousque.1
