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.

Another is a plenary satisfaction to the sentence of the Law, by bearing the penalty therein denounced in regard of sins already committed.
