Faith is the Eye, is the Mouth is the Hand and one of these is of use all Day long,, Faith is to see, to receive to work or to eat; and a Christian should be seeing, or receiving, or working, or feeding all Day long, let it rain, let it blow, let it thunder, let it lighten; a Christian must still believe: At what time, said the good Man, I am afraid I will trust in thee, Psal. 56.23.

Nor can we have better Encouragement to do this, than is by the Text set before us, even an open Heart for a Jerusalem-sinner, and if for a Jerusalem-sinner to come, then for such an one when come, if such an one to be saved, than for such an one that is saved. If such a one to be pardoned his great Transgressions, then for such a one who has pardoned these, to come daily to Jesus Christ too, to be cleansed and set free from common Infirmities, and from the Iniquities of his holy things.
Therefore let the poor Sinner that would be saved, labour for Skill to make the best Improvement of the Grace of Christ, to help him against the Temptations of the Devil and his Sins.
