16 Now, because human frailty, (which by Gods decree, doth always cleave unto man in this life) can bear no more; it cometh to pass, that the will of God, is but begun to be performed by the regenerate here upon earth; and that only in affection and in faith: (this also being the will of God, that besides the love which we are commanded to yield unto God and our neighbour, we should also believe in Christ.)
