Question
What is Faith?
Answer
It is not only a knowledg, whereby I surely assent to all things which God1 hath revealed unto us in his Word, but also an2 hassured trust kindled in3 my heart by the Holy Ghost, through the Gospel, whereby I make my repose in God, being assuredly resolved that Remission of Sins, everlasting4 Righteousness, and life is given not to others only, but to me also, and that freely through the Mercy of God, for5 for the Merits of Christ alone.
