CHAP. III. Containing the partition of the first booke, concerning Faith in Iesus Christ.
HAuing prooued, that Faith in Iesus Christ, is the first and principall meanes, whereby wee are to bee saued, and to come to life euerla∣sting: I am now (by Gods assistance, and through the gracious guiding of his holy Spirit) to en∣treat of this subject, Faith in Iesus Christ. In handling whereof, I will obserue this order. I will shew,
First, the diuerse significations of the word Faith: and what is meant by Faith in this Treatise.
Secondly, the diuers sorts and kindes of Faith: and which is the true Faith.
Thirdly, that there is but one true sauing Faith: and what it is.
Fourthly, wherein true Faith consisteth.
Fiftly, who are partakers of the true Faith: whether all haue it, or but some, and who they are.
Sixtly, the necessity of hauing the true sauing Faith.
Seuenthly, the benefits whereof they are partakers, who haue the true Faith.
Eightly, how the true sauing Faith may be procured.
Ninthly, how true Faith being procured, may for e∣uer be preserued.
Tenthly, the signes and markes of true Faith; by which, it may bee knowne, whether a man haue the true sauing Faith, whereby hee may bee saued, and come to life euerlasting.
These are the seuerall things necessarily to bee hand∣led in the Treatise of Faith; of which, in their order, as I haue propounded them.
And first, I will shew what is meant by Faith in this Treatise.
