F.

• Faith in Christ, what, 1075. How gained and encreased, 669. Why God will not let the articles of our Faith be∣come objects of our Sense, 733, 734.

Faith and Cha∣rity, like Hippocrates's twins, live and die together, 490. F. is naturally pro∣ductive of good vvorks, 276. F. ju∣stifieth a sinner, but a repentant sinner, 872. It is attended with Hope, 242. It maketh a man slight the threats and pow∣er of Tyrants, 241. It expelleth base Fear, and filleth the heart with courage and confidence, 314. What kind of F. it is that must qualifie and prepare us for Christ's second coming, 1049. The vast difference between a dead F. and a lively F. 316. How St. James and St. Paul may be reconciled in the point of F. 256. Why St. James putteth not Faith into his description of pure Religion, 274, &c.

We should at all times quicken our F. but then especially vvhen vve come to the Lord's Table, 465. 489, 490. Faith and Charity judge not alike, 837.

• Forgetfulness of the World, reproved, 1116.
• Forgiveness. How short our Forgive∣ness cometh of God's, 817. God's F. is free and voluntary, and so must ours be, 818. Whether we are bound to for∣give an injury before acknowledgment made, 818. God forgiveth fully, and so must vve, not onely forgive, but for∣get, 819. By this vve become like unto God, 820. Though vve must forgive, yet is not the office of the Judge, or go∣ing to Law, unlawful, 821. God's F. is not the less free because it engageth us to forgive, 824. What force our F. hath to obtain F. of God, 824, 825, 830, &c. What influence God's F. should have on us, 826, &c.

In∣deed the Form is accepted vvhen the power is not wanting, 79, 80. other∣wise not, 487, 488. Why a bare Form, vvithout substance, is so hateful to God, 75-79. It hath the same motive with our greatest sins, 76. It is mere mocke∣ry, 80. 877. It is as pleasing to the De∣vil as it is odious to God, 77. v. Hearing, Piety, Worship.
• Formality. v. Outward Duties. It is com∣pared to motions by vvater-works, 845. Formalities are easy, essential duties difficult, 1057.
