In the next place, we are to labour for faith in the promises of the forgivenesse of sinne, and Gods goodnesse to us: that hee will give grace and glorie, and that wee shall want nothing, this will put courage into us.
And as we are to labour for faith, so also for love: which is cherished by meditation of ⟨p. 162⟩Gods mercies, and his love to us, and this will set us on fire in all good works, and so much of this grace as we have in us, with so much strength and intention of spirit shall we endeavour to please God in all things: and this argument the Apostle used to stir up the Corinthians, 1 Cor: 7.1.
