The confirming worke of religion, : in its necessity and use briefly held forth; that each Christian may have a proper ballast of his own, of the grounds and reasons of his faith, and thus see the greatnesse of that security, on which he adventures his eternal state. Or the true and infallible way, for attaining a confirmed state in religion, from these primary evidences and demonstrations of our faith; which the Lord hath himself given, so as it may be easy for the meanest in the Church to know the same, and be ready to render an account thereof to all that ask. With a short and confirming prospect of the work of the Lord about his Church, in these last times. /
