&c. But that which maketh mans knowledge of God to be mans salvation, is the spirit of faith sanctifying unto him what he knoweth For. 1. By faith we understand — one office of faith is to enlighten the understanding. 2. By faith Moses refused, chusing rather — viz As faith discerneth what is good so faith embraceth, what good it discerneth. 3. A third effect of faith is to purifie the heart. 4. By faith they subdued and obtained — When faith hath so instructed the heart, that it no longer beleeveth a lie; and hath so corrected the mind, that it holdeth not the truth in unrighteousness; When a Knowledge of the truth, of the whole truth, (yea and of nothing but the truth ) freeth the head from errour; and when a love of that truth freeth the heart from disobedience; when we like to retain God in our Knowledge; then do we apprehend that for which also we are apprehended of Christ Jesus: When ye seeke not your own wills, but your Gods will; when ye with meekeness, and with earnestness, search, & wait, and watch, and trie, whether by his word of life God will make your heart, as Abrahams was, faithful; then ye sow to the spirit; And as what was born of your flesh, was flesh; so what is born of Gods spirit, is spirit: For such as wait upon God in His waies, them God meeteth; and whom God meeteth, in them, by his spirit of adoption, he formeth the quickning spirit of Christ Jesus. Brethren, Hereby may ye know whether ye have, with faithful Abraham, believed unto righteousness: If unto righteousness ye have beleeved, then have ye passed from the death of unbeliefe wherein ye were born, to the Life of faith whereunto ye were baptized. |
etc. But that which makes men knowledge of God to be men salvation, is the Spirit of faith sanctifying unto him what he Knoweth For. 1. By faith we understand — one office of faith is to enlighten the understanding. 2. By faith Moses refused, choosing rather — videlicet As faith discerneth what is good so faith Embraceth, what good it discerneth. 3. A third Effect of faith is to purify the heart. 4. By faith they subdued and obtained — When faith hath so instructed the heart, that it no longer Believeth a lie; and hath so corrected the mind, that it holds not the truth in unrighteousness; When a Knowledge of the truth, of the Whole truth, (yea and of nothing but the truth) freeth the head from error; and when a love of that truth freeth the heart from disobedience; when we like to retain God in our Knowledge; then do we apprehend that for which also we Are apprehended of christ jesus: When you seek not your own wills, but your God's will; when you with Meekness, and with earnestness, search, & wait, and watch, and try, whither by his word of life God will make your heart, as Abrahams was, faithful; then you sow to the Spirit; And as what was born of your Flesh, was Flesh; so what is born of God's Spirit, is Spirit: For such as wait upon God in His ways, them God meeteth; and whom God meeteth, in them, by his Spirit of adoption, he formeth the quickening Spirit of christ jesus. Brothers, Hereby may you know whither you have, with faithful Abraham, believed unto righteousness: If unto righteousness you have believed, then have you passed from the death of unbelief wherein you were born, to the Life of faith whereunto you were baptised. |
