And he will have us perfect before we come to so holy a place,3 he will have us grow in grace, as Ahasuerus his wives were to be perfumed▪ and prepared before they came to him. It is a holy place that we hope for, a holy condition: therefore, he will have us by little, and little, be fitted by the spirit of God. Many such reasons there be, why God in heavenly wisdom will have us go on here a time before we come to heaven: though as soon as we believe we are in the state of salvation, as Christ said to Zacheus, This day is salvation come to thine house.
