Quest. But what is the Cause that some Christians are so weak in Faith?
Answ. 1. Some are but just brought forth, lately converted, they are like newborn Babes: Can you expect a Child in the Cradle, should be as strong as such as are twenty or thirty Years old?
2. Perhaps some have but little Faith, because they want the Means of it, which others have; It may be they have more Law preached to them than Gospel, more Terror from Sinai, than Joy from Mount Zion.
3. Again, some may be weak in Faith, because they pore more upon their own inward Corruptions, than they meditate on Christ's Righteousness, more on their own Emptiness, than on Christ's Fullness. They see their Debts, but have not their Eyes upon their Surety, who hath discharged and blotted all out.
