5. A weak Faith is subject to rest too much upon the Means, and outward Ordinances. He performs Duty, and is found in the Appointments of Christ, because of the Fat and Sweet of them, or some present Comforts of the Spirit in the performance of them, rather than because commanded of God, and to manifest his Obedience and Subjection unto him; and if he meets not with his expectation, he is ready presently to faint, and be discouraged, and concludes the Ordinances do not belong to him, or he is not a converted Person, &c. or else thinks wholly to neglect them for time to come.
