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.

Now the heart naturally is unsuffering: It is a terror to it to speak of afflictions, sorrows, reproaches, losses; We are willing to enjoy the world, to taste of pleasures, to handle profits, to rest in ease, to walk at liberty, to rejoice with our Friends, to be spread abroad with high estimations.
