§. 6.
6. For the meaning of
which words (to dispatch
that very briefly) I shall
(for the present) onely
need to shew you, first,
what I conceive to bee
meant by Faith; (what the
earnest contending for the
faith here spoken of mea∣neth,
wee shall see after∣ward:)
and secondly, what
the meaning and waight
of that latter clause is
(which was once delivered to
the Saints.)
For the word Faith, it is
a tearme the holy Ghost
useth for many purposes,
and in divers significati∣ons;
onely two I finde

pretenders for this place.
First, by Faith some un∣derstand
that grace or ha∣bit
of faith by which these
men were justified, which
indeed is the most com∣mon
& proper acception.
And thus the meaning
would be, that Christians
should earnestly contend,
to maintaine and make
good that precious grace,
wrought in the heart, upon
which their eternall peace
and safety depends against
all that may indanger the
life and power of it.
