A92854 The humbled sinner resolved what he should do to be saved. Or Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the only way of salvation for sensible sinners. Discovering the quality, object, acts, seat, subject, inseparable concomitants and degrees of justifying faith. The agreement and difference of a strong and weak faith; the difficulty of beleeving, the facility of mistake about it, and the misery of unbelief. The nature of living by faith, and the improvement of it to a full assurance. Wherein several cases are resolved, and objections answered. / By Obadiah Sedgwick, Batchelour in Divinity and late minister of the Gospel in Covent Garden. Sedgwick, Obadiah, 1600?-1658. 1657 (1657) Wing S2375; Thomason E900_1; ESTC R203520 234,690 315

interpret_v if_o we_o expound_v it_o to_o be_v a_o make_n of_o a_o man_n so_o and_o so_o sinful_a by_o infusion_n so_o be_v justification_n unright_o conceit_v when_o man_n make_v it_o to_o be_v a_o

in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o justification_n there_o be_v satan_n accuse_v and_o something_o else_o there_o be_v man_n accuse_v of_o sin_n and_o gilt_n there_o be_v christ_n interpose_v and_o plead_v
