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

of_o office_n you_o know_v well_o how_o to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o action_n a_o man_n do_v as_o a_o man_n and_o action_n which_o a_o man_n do_v as_o a_o officer_n if_o a_o man_n be_v condemn_v and_o

and_o way_n of_o salvation_n not_o that_o faith_n can_v from_o its_o own_o worth_a dispute_n and_o challenge_v from_o god_n but_o because_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n have_v as_o a_o cause_n merit_v our_o pardon_n justification_n and_o salvation_n other_o thing_n have_v a_o reference_n by_o way_n of_o order_n as_o suppose_v a_o man_n be_v to_o be_v knight_v by_o

tread_v if_o we_o will_v be_v save_v via_fw-la ad_fw-la regnum_fw-la non_fw-la causa_fw-la regnandi_fw-la bernard_n bernard_n when_o we_o say_v that_o believe_v in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o be_v save_v you_o must_v not_o understand_v it_o so_o as_o if_o no_o other_o grace_n be_v require_v from_o a_o man_n but_o faith_n only_o but_o thus_o there_o be_v no_o other_o grace_n which_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n but_o faith_n only_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o father_n of_o the_o prodigal_n when_o he_o meet_v his_o son_n fall_v down_o on_o his_o knee_n he_o present_o forgive_v he_o but_o before_o he_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o house_n he_o do_v clothe_v he_o with_o other_o garment_n so_o do_v god_n our_o father_n upon_o our_o humble_v and_o believe_v free_o confer_v on_o we_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o his_o christ_n sake_n yet_o before_o he_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n he_o do_v invest_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o

therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o remember_v to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o these_o two_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n the_o person_n justify_v and_o to_o be_v save_v though_o this_o be_v most_o

the_o estate_n be_v change_v only_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o if_o we_o will_v be_v save_v the_o person_n must_v also_o be_v change_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ._n sect_n i._o

a_o bare_a promise_n one_o word_n of_o god_n be_v security_n enough_o to_o faith_n if_o a_o mariner_n can_v get_v to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mast_n and_o descry_v but_o a_o point_n of_o land_n he_o
