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.

Obj. Again, if the righteousness of Christ be so imputed to us in justification, that for it we are accounted perfectly righteous, as if it were our own most perfect and intrinsical; Then why may not we be accounted as righteous as Christ? yea and having Christs righteousness, why may we not be the Saviours of men? Since that is the righteousness which doth save all that are saved.
Obj. Againe, if the righteousnesse of Christ be so imputed to us in justification, that for it we are accounted perfectly righteous, as if it were our own most perfect and intrinsecal; Then why may not we be accounted as righteous as Christ? yea and having Christs righteousnesse, why may we not be the Saviours of men? Since that is the righteousnesse which doth save all that are saved.
Sol. I answer,
To compare the same righteousness with the same, is illogical and gross, for it is one and the same righteousness which is inherent in Christ, and imputed to the believing soul.
To compare the same righteousnesse with the same, is illogical and grosse, for it is one and the same righteousnesse which is inherent in Christ, and imputed to the beleeving soule.
