"A Treatise of Faith" by Ezekiel Culverwell (Recommended by RIchard Sibbes and William Gouge) is an exposition on living by faith and finding solace in the midst of life's adversities. Culverwell laments the lack of true understanding and application of faith among believers, noting that many fail to experience the fullness of life and joy that faith in Christ can bring. He observes that even amongst professed Christians, the certainty of salvation and consistent holy behavior, which should naturally emanate from genuine faith, are often lacking. This shortfall not only deprives individuals of personal comfort but also fails to inspire and influence others positively.

At the heart of the treatise is the assertion that all grace necessary for salvation is found in Christ alone and can only be accessed through faith. Culverwell explains that true saving faith is not merely an intellectual assent to the truths of the Gospel but involves a heartfelt reception of Christ, leading to a transformation that aligns one's life with God's will. This faith, he clarifies, is founded on the promises of God, revealed through His Word, ensuring that every soul has a firm foundation upon which to build their trust in God's mercy and salvation. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding and believing in the nature of God—His omnipotence, willingness to save, and faithfulness to His promises. Such understanding, he argues, is crucial in fortifying the believer's faith, especially during times of doubt and spiritual struggle.

Culverwell also addresses the misconception that faith can be self-generated, stressing that it is, in fact, a divine gift. While the Gospel offers salvation to all, the inherent corruption of humanity due to the Fall renders individuals incapable of receiving this grace on their own. It is only through the Holy Spirit that one's heart is inclined towards God, leading to genuine trust in Christ and His salvation. This divine intervention ensures that the glory of salvation is attributed entirely to God, leaving no room for human boasting. Culverwell's treatise, thus, not only guides the reader in understanding the true nature of faith but also underscores the sovereignty and grace of God in the salvation of humankind.

Ezekiel Culverwell (1553-1631) was an English clergyman and nonconformist thinker, notably active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Graduating from Oxford with a BA in 1573 and an MA in 1577, he was ordained in Lincoln in 1585. Soon after, he served as a household chaplain at Leighs Priory in Essex. Culverwell was involved in the nonconformist ministerial conference around Braintree, which led to his suspension in 1587 by Bishop Aylmer due to disagreements over clerical attire. Despite these challenges, he was instituted to the rectory of Great Stambridge in Essex on 23 December 1592.
