I come now to make ſome General Uſe and Application of the whole, and ſo to draw towards a [gap] ſi[gap]n. (2)
14. By Faith the Righteouſneſs of Chriſt is [gap]puted to us; but by Unbelief, we are ſhut up [gap]der the Law to periſh▪ Rom, 3.23, 24 Chap. [gap] 32 Gal 2 23.
15 Faith maketh our work acceptable to God [gap]rough Chriſt; but whatſoever is of Unbelief [gap] Sin; for without Faith it is impoſſible to [gap]eaſe him, Heb. 11.4. Rom. 14.2, 3 Heb. 11.6.
16. Faith gives us peace and comfort in our [gap]ouls, but Unbelief worketh trouble & toſſings, [gap]ke the reſtleſs Waves of the Sea Rom 5 1 Ja 6.1
17 Faith makes us ſee preciouſneſs in Chriſt; [gap]t Unbelief ſees no Form, Beauty or Comlineſs
in him 1 Pet 2.7. Iſa. 53.1, 3, 3.
18 By Faith we have our Life in Chri[gap] Fulneſs [gap] [gap]ut by Unbelief we Starve and P[gap] away; Gal 2.20.
19 Faith gives us the Victory over the L[gap] Sin, Death, the Devil, and all Evils; but Un[gap] lief layeth us obnoxious to them all, 1 Jo 5.[gap]
20 Faith will ſhew us more Excellency things not ſeen, then in them that are; but [gap] belief ſees more in things that are, than in th[gap] that will be hereafter, Cor. 4.18 Heb. 11. [gap] 25.26, 29. 1 Cor. 15.31.
21 Faith makes the ways of God pleaſant [gap] admirable; but Unbelief maketh them heavy hard. Gal. 5 6. 1 Cor. 11.10 11. Jo. 6 60. Pſa. [gap]
22. By Faith Abraham, Iſaac and Jac[gap] poſſeſſed the Land of Promiſe; but becauſe Unblief, neither Aaron, nor Moſes, nor Mi[gap]i[gap] could get thither, Heb. 9. Chap. 3.10.
23. By Faith the Children of Iſrael paſſed throu[gap] the Red Sea; but by U[gap]belief the generality [gap] them periſhed in the Wilderneſs. Heb 11 [gap]9
24. By Faith Gideon did more with Th[gap] hundred Men and a few empty Pitchers, th[gap] all the twelve Tribes could do; becauſe th[gap] believed not God, Judges 7.16.
25 By Faith Peter walked on the Water; [gap] by Unbelief he began to ſink, Mat. 14 21.
Thus might many more be added, which [gap] brevity ſake I omit; Beſeeching every one, t[gap] thinketh he hath a Soul to ſave, or be damn to take heed of Unbelief; leſt, ſeeing there i[gap] Promiſe left us of entering into his reſt, any us by Unblief, ſhould indeed come ſhort of [gap]
