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

only_a way_n of_o blessing_n as_o none_o can_v bless_v but_o god_n and_o he_o can_v bless_v so_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v only_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o nothing_o so_o skilful_a in_o god_n way_n as_o faith_n second_o it_o make_v all_o the_o promise_n to_o yield_v it_o be_v true_a as_o god_n be_v infinite_o above_o all_o and_o his_o power_n be_v grea●_n so_o
