There is honouring of Christ: no man ever believed on him, but he desired to honour him. It is fit he should look for glory from us, so well as we look for glory from him. We honour the King under whom we enjoy our own with peace: we honour the Physician that preserves the health of our bodies: we honour the Soldier that defends us from our enemies: O how much more should we honour him that saves our souls!s we are bought with a price, therefore let us glorify him both in our bodies and spirits, for they are his. These be the five fingers of Faith, let us lay hold on Christ in life, he may lay hold on us in death, and bear us up in his holy hand to everlasting glory.

These be the five fingers of Faith, let us lay hold on Christ in life, he may lay hold on us in death, and beare us up in his holy hand to everlasting glory.
Precious Faith; Here is the excellency of this qualification. As Athens was called Greece of Greece, so Faith may be called the Grace of Grace. It is Precious in regard of the Object, the Subject, the Act, the Effect, the Use.
