3. A weak Faith grows weaker and weaker, and ready to let go its hold at every discouragement. If a Corruption or Temptation prevails, all his Hope of Heaven is almost gone presently. Thus it was with Peter, Help Lord, I perish. But strong Faith is rather strengthened thereby; as appears in the Woman of Canaan. You may judg of a strong Faith by its Power over the Enemy. I have written unto you, 1young Men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the Wicked One.

And as his Obedience to God is kept up,1 so is his Comfort; (not but that great Peace is to them that keep the Law, and that are found in the way of Obedience.) But a strong Faith, in all it doth, is kept up by Christ's doing, by Christ's Obedience; he sees his Acceptation comes in through the Lord Jesus's Undertaking for him.
