How can we miss of salvation when we are saved already? Christ our Head being in heaven, will draw his body after him; What should hinder us? the world? Alas, we have that faith in us which overcometh the world; 1as for the flesh, you know what the Apostle saith, We are not under the law, but under grace; the spirit in us always lusteth against the flesh, and subdues it ⟨p. 103⟩by little and little; neither can Satan or the gates of hell prevail against us, for the grace we have is stronger then all enemies against us.
