Acts3:16
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know▪ yea, the faith which is by him, hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
His power; for by it he is known as men or things are, by their several names; or the Name of Christ is put for Christ himself, as the Name of God is put for God commonly.
Calling by Faith on the Name of Christ; being thorowly perswaded that he could and would heal this cripple.
Not onely Faith, as on Christ as its Object: but by and from Christ as its Author: Faith being twice made mention of in this cure, there being required Faith in Peter to heal, and in the lame man to be healed.
