With an addition concerning self-examination, and the nature of faith. / By Henry Lukin minister of the gospel.	Lukin, H.

to_o think_v too_o high_o of_o themselves_o now_o before_o i_o conclude_v i_o must_v say_v something_o in_o answer_n to_o a_o question_n which_o will_v be_v easy_o occasion_v by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o speak_v since_o we_o be_v to_o try_v ourselves_o by_o a_o adequate_a rule_n and_o by_o such_o evidence_n as_o be_v competent_a to_o all_o justify_v person_n and_o to_o they_o only_o what_o be_v those_o proper_a character_n of_o a_o true_a christian_n i_o can_v here_o discourse_v at_o large_a of_o the_o several_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o show_v how_o they_o may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o their_o counterseit_n yet_o that_o i_o may_v do_v something_o towards_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christian_n in_o this_o particular_a i_o shall_v first_o endeavour_v to_o explain_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o then_o to_o discover_v so_o far_o as_o i_o be_o able_a what_o be_v the_o genuine_a temper_n and_o disposition_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v that_o which_o our_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o and_o i_o choose_v always_o to_o describe_v it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o common_a catéchism_n which_o i_o will_v never_o willing_o swerve_v from_o but_o keep_v close_o to_o that_o so_o christian_n may_v be_v more_o secure_a in_o entertain_v the_o truth_n and_o free_a from_o suspicion_n of_o be_v misguide_v by_o the_o singular_a notion_n of_o a_o private_a spirit_n now_o there_o it_o be_v describe_v a_o save_a grace_n whereby_o we_o receive_v jesus-christ_n and_o rest_n upon_o he_o for_o salvation_n as_o he_o be_v offer_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o this_o as_o a_o accurate_a definition_n of_o faith_n proper_o so_o call_v yet_o as_o consonant_a to_o the_o

thereby_o judge_n whether_o they_o be_v right_a or_o no._n but_o let_v i_o a_o little_a explain_v this_o description_n of_o faith_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o it_o be_v call_v a_o grace_n because_o it_o be_v a_o gift_n free_o give_v eph._n 2.8_o a_o save_a grace_n because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o accompany_v salvation_n mark_v 16.16_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o grace_n whereby_o we_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n now_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o place_n usual_o allege_v for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o joh._n 1.12_o do_v convince_o prove_v it_o since_o it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o expound_v what_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v if_o we_o shall_v take_v the_o word_n receive_v in_o a_o

thereof_o the_o like_a restriction_n we_o have_v psal_n 145.18_o yet_o faith_n may_v proper_o be_v call_v a_o receive_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v the_o firstact_n of_o the_o will_n about_o the_o

in_o explain_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n which_o they_o make_v to_o be_v a_o accept_n of_o this_o or_o that_o mean_n or_o choose_v it_o before_o other_o by_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o

of_o god_n offer_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v express_v in_o the_o foregoing_a description_n faith_n be_v our_o receive_n of_o he_o accept_v of_o god_n offer_n taking_z hold_v on_o god_n

the_o former_a word_n do_v apt_o express_v the_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n fix_v or_o pitch_v upon_o christ_n in_o its_o choice_n as_o the_o only_a sufficient_a mean_n of_o
