have_v faith_n they_o shall_v not_o doubt_v of_o their_o justification_n nor_o of_o god_n love_n to_o they_o in_o christ_n but_o many_o doubt_n that_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n or_o if_o they_o have_v any_o it_o be_v so_o little_a that_o it_o can_v be_v sufficient_a to_o carry_v they_o through_o all_o opposition_n to_o the_o end_n unto_o salvation_n first_o if_o you_o have_v any_o faith_n answ_n though_o no_o more_o than_o as_o a_o 6_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n you_o shall_v not_o fear_v your_o final_a estate_n nor_o yet_o doubt_v of_o god_n love_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o great_a quantity_n and_o measure_n of_o faith_n that_o save_v but_o the_o excellent_a property_n and_o use_n of_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v true_a though_o never_o so_o small_a for_o a_o man_n be_v not_o save_v by_o the_o worth_n of_o his_o faith_n by_o which_o he_o believe_v but_o by_o the_o worth_n of_o christ_n the_o person_n on_o who_o he_o believe_v now_o the_o least_o true_a faith_n do_v apprehend_v whole_a christ_n as_o a_o little_a hand_n may_v hold_v a_o jewel_n of_o infinite_a worth_n as_o well_o though_o not_o so_o strong_o as_o a_o big_a the_o least_o infant_n be_v as_o true_o a_o man_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n as_o afterward_o when_o it_o be_v able_a to_o show_v forth_o the_o operation_n of_o it_o though_o not_o so_o strong_a a_o man_n even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o regeneration_n now_o you_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n have_v 12_o babe_n in_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o ●ld_v man_n 1_o feeble_a mind_v as_o well_o as_o strong_a sick_a child_n as_o well_o as_o whole_a in_o his_o family_n and_o those_o that_o have_v least_o strength_n and_o be_v weak_a of_o who_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v they_o have_v a_o 8._o little_a strength_n in_o comparison_n yet_o they_o have_v so_o much_o as_o through_o god_n will_v enable_v they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o great_a trial_n to_o keep_v god_n word_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o deny_v christ_n name_n also_o know_v god_n like_o a_o tender_a father_n do_v not_o cast_v off_o such_o as_o be_v little_a feeble_a and_o weak_a but_o have_v give_v special_a charge_n concern_v the_o 14_o cherish_n support_a and_o comfort_v of_o these_o rather_o than_o other_o and_o 2_o christ_n jesus_n he_o will_v blow_v up_o and_o not_o quench_v the_o least_o spark_n of_o faith_n this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v in_o caution_n commendation_n of_o little_a faith_n be_v only_o to_o keep_v he_o that_o have_v no_o more_o from_o despair_n let_v none_o hereby_o please_v or_o content_v himself_o with_o his_o little_a faith_n not_o strive_v to_o grow_v and_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o he_o have_v none_o at_o all_o or_o if_o he_o have_v yet_o he_o must_v know_v that_o he_o will_v have_v much_o to_o do_v to_o live_v when_o he_o have_v no_o more_o than_o can_v keep_v life_n and_o soul_n together_o and_o his_o life_n will_v be_v very_o unprofitable_a and_o uncomfortable_a in_o comparison_n of_o he_o that_o have_v a_o strong_a faith_n but_o you_o will_v say_v you_o be_v 1_o so_o cause_n full_a of_o fear_n and_o doubt_n 2_o you_o be_v so_o fearful_a to_o die_v and_o to_o hear_v of_o our_o come_n to_o judgement_n and_o 3_o you_o can_v feel_v that_o you_o have_v faith_n you_o can_v feel_v joy_n and_o comfort_n in_o believe_v wherefore_o you_o fear_v you_o have_v no_o faith_n first_o if_o you_o have_v so_o sure_a a_o word_n and_o promise_n do_v yet_o doubt_v and_o fear_v so_o much_o as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v your_o great_a sin_n and_o i_o must_v blame_v you_o now_o in_o our_o saviour_n name_n as_o he_o do_v his_o disciple_n then_o say_v 26_o why_o be_v you_o fearful_a 31._o why_o be_v you_o doubtful_a o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n but_o to_o your_o reformation_n and_o comfort_n observe_v it_o he_o do_v not_o argue_v they_o to_o be_v of_o no_o faith_n but_o only_o of_o little_a faith_n say_v o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o some_o fear_n and_o doubt_n do_v not_o argue_v no_o faith_n second_o touch_v fear_n of_o die_v death_n and_o judgement_n some_o fear_n do_v not_o
