of
God
:
this laid
open
to the
eye
of
the foul,
by
the
mighty
work
of
the
Spirit
of God,
raifes
and
creates faith
in
the
foul
.,
this
is
the
generation
of
true
laving
faith,
the
faith
of
Gods
Elcíb,
as
the
Scripture
fpeaks ; Duties and
Perform-
ances
cannot
be
the
Mother of
it
;
it
is
of
a
higher birth than
that
birth that
arifes out
of
Parts,
Duties,
or
Performances
whatfoever
;
thy
faith
will
not inherit
,
if
it be
bate
born
:
through
faith we
come to
inherit
the
Promifes
;
and
if
thy
faith bath
no
other
foundation than
thy
forrows
and
re-
formation
thy
faith
is
illegitimate ,
and not
that
that
fb all
inherit
;
'tis not
of
the
right
kind
that
will
bring
thee unto
Salvation
:
thus
you
fee
what
miftakes
there
may
be
in
this
great
Point
of
the Juftification of
a
Sinner,
and in
being made
bleffed and
therefore
we had need look
to
it
to
be
fure
,
that what
we
reft upon will
hold,
left when
we
come
to
lay claim,
and
make
challenge
of bleffednefs, our hold de-
ceive
us
:
Many
think
the main
matters
of
Religion to
be
nothing?
but believing
in
Jefus
thrift
, and
crying
God
mercy
:
you
fee
by
thefe
things that
I
have
fpoken ,
that
there
had need
be
much
workings
of
fpirit
in
the
way
of
Religion,
and
mighty
ftrong
teachings
of
the
Holy Ghoft
to
lead
the foul
;
for there
may
be
many miftakes
,
and
to prevent
and
remove thofe
miftakes
that
lie in
the
way
to
get
peace
with
God
, 'tis
a
matter
of
great
con
-
cernment
,
and
not
a
flight
bufinefs
to
be
donè fud-
denly.
