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.

God showed the greatness of his love, to bestow his Son, ⟨p. 89⟩and Christ showed the greatness of his love, to dye for us. Greater love (said Christ) can no man show, then to lay down his life, &c. Now for the Lord to find out a way of Salvation, and in love to our souls to offer this Son of his unto us, and to beseech us to be reconciled, and then for us (like them who were invited to the supper) we cannot come, we will not come. O this, &c.
