First, That Faith and Doubting, may at the •ne time have their Residence in the same ••ul? O thou of little Faith, wherefore didst •ou Doubt, Matthew 14.31. He says not Oh! •ou of no Faith; but Oh! thou of little Faith; ••cause He had a little Faith in the midst of his •any Doubts. And the same is True, even of •any that are coming to Jesus Christ. They ••me and Fear they come not, and Doubt they ome not. When They look upon the Promise, a Word of Encouragement by Faith, then they ome; but when they look upon themselves, or […] Difficulties that lay before 'em, then they doubt. Bid me come, said Peter; Come, saith Christ So He went down out of the Ship to o to Jesus; but his Hap was to go to Him upon he Water; There was the Trial, So it is with he poor, desiring Soul; Bid me come, says the innner. Come, says Christ, and I will in no wise ast thee out. So He comes, but his Hap is to ome upon the Water; upon Drowning Difficulties: If therefore the Wind of Temptation blow, he Waves of Doubts and Fears will presently ife; and this coming Sinner will presently sink, f He has but little Faith.
