I See now well that men have no great occasion to glory in the gifts of God which they have received, if they have not received those same, whereby they may be made the children of God, and made like to him, in goodness, justice and holiness, and by whose means they are fashioned and framed to make all the others to serve to his glory, who hath given them unto them, considering that they serve them not but to greater condemnation, if that they have not those which are the principal.
