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.

That which cannot satisfy Gods Justice, can never pacify an afflicted heart; but if God might be fully satisfied, if he might be §3reconciled, then the conscience would be quiet; now Christ hath done this, he hath made peace, and become a curse, and is a propitiation, &c.

He will relieve the afflicted heart. He is called a merciful High §4Priest, and one who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities, and he will not break the bruised reed, and he calls the heavy laden to come to him to be eased.

There be three things which would marvellously ease and refresh a troubled soul One, if he could get off the guilt of former §5sins. Another, if he could get such a righteousness, as with which he might boldly stand before God. A third is, if he could get his heart and ways to be changed. Now Christ can yield out all this: his blood gets off the gilt of our sins, he is made sin for us, that we may be made the righteousness of God in him; and he can change our natures by his blessed Spirit. Therefore the Apostle saith, that he is made, redemption, righteousness, and sanctification unto us.
