Doct. 1 Christians ought to exercise the graces of God, and to put them in trial and practice, Rom. 13.12. 1 Thes. 5.8. C•l. 3 12. viz. show it, let others feel that thou hast the bowels of mercy, Rom. 13.14. viz. make Christ his merits, and his graces yours. Another metaphor is used to this end, 2 Tim. 1.6. (Stir up the gift) taken from fire which, must be blowed, before it can burn and flame, that we may receive heat. Also another metaphor, Mat. 12.35. a man that hath great treasure, and let it not lie still rusting and cankering, but bring it forth to the good of himself and others.
