I intend, by God's help, to put together sundry thought upon faith, each of which I may have spoken at different times, but which have not been collected before, and which, I have no doubt, have been misunderstood from the want of their having been put together in their proper consecutive order. I shall say a little on each of these points:
1--The object of faith; or, to what it looks.
2--The reason of faith; or, why doth any man believe, and whence doth his faith come?
3--The ground of the sinner's faith; or, on what ground he dares to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
4--The warrant of faith; or, why it dares to trust in Christ.
5--The result of faith; or, how it speeds when it comes to Christ.
6--The satisfactory declaration made in Scripture concerning those who have faith.
7--Misapprehensions respecting faith, by reason of which Christians are often cast down.
8--What this faith includes.
9--What this faith excludes.
