Faith: What It Is and What It Leads To

I intend, by God's help, to put together sundry thought upon faith, each of which I may have spoken at different times, but which have not been collected before, and which, I have no doubt, have been misunderstood from the want of their having been put together in their proper consecutive order. I shall say a little on each of these points: 1--The object of faith; or, to what it looks. 2--The reason of faith; or, why doth any man believe, and whence doth his faith come? 3--The ground of the sinner's faith; or, on what ground he dares to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. 4--The warrant of faith; or, why it dares to trust in Christ. 5--The result of faith; or, how it speeds when it comes to Christ. 6--The satisfactory declaration made in Scripture concerning those who have faith. 7--Misapprehensions respecting faith, by reason of which Christians are often cast down. 8--What this faith includes. 9--What this faith excludes.
