•or, will he that believeth not the Testimony Christ, concerning the Baseness of Sin, & the ••fficiency of the Righteousness of the world, •e to Christ for Life? No.
•e that believeth not the Testimony of the •rd, comes not. He that believes that there •ife any where else, comes not He that ques••••s whether the Father hath given Christ •ver to forgive, comes not: He that thinketh • there is mor• in Sin, in the Law, in Death, •he Devil to destroy than there is in Christ to •e, comes not. He also that Questions his faith• management of his Priesthood, for the Sal•••ion of Sinners, comes not.
Thou then that art indeed the coming Sin•••, believest all this? True, perhaps thou dost • believe with that full Assurance, nor • thou leisure to take notice of thy Faith as •hese distinct Acts of it; but yet all this Faith […] him coming to Christ for Life. And the •th that thus worketh, is the Faith of the best purest kind: Because this Man comes alone Sinner, & as seeing that life is to be had on in Jesus Christ.
