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.

He who will be saved must come to this, to deny his own will; to crucify his own affections; to captivate his own imaginations; to resign up his own desires and pleasures; to afflict his heart for his sins; to give up himself to the rule and command of Gods Word; to draw off his heart from the world; to settle all his confidence upon Jesus Christ; to watch over his own spirit; To love the Lord God with all his soul, and with all his might: These and other things are required as the way to life, and unto them all, doth a sinner, rightly sensible, yield up himself with all readiness and gladness.

For as much as, though there may be some difficulty in these, yet there is Salvation by them; yea, and there is a singular help for them, as well as a special reward, but the present and former condition and way of sin is engraven with much pains, and sore horror, and death, and hell; But I pass on.
