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.

How clear is the Scripture for us, 2 Cor. 5. 21. He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, Jer. 23. 6. The Lord our righteousness, 1 Cor. 1. 30. Christ Jesus is made unto us of God, &c. righteousness. How often doth the Apostle peculiarly interest imputed righteousness, handling the doctrine of Justification, Rom. 4. But the Apostle clears all, Rom. 5. 19. As by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Adae peccatum imputabitur mihi & Christi justitia non pertinebit ad me, said Bernard.
