IV. Faith hath her increases.
And albeit the faith of the elect doth never utterly decay, but always liveth; yet we know that it is not always so perfect and complete, but it hath daily need of increase: for which both the Apostles prayed, 1and we confess that we ought always to pray unto god.
And albeit the faith of the elect doth neuer vtterly decay, but alwaies liueth; yet we know that it is not alwaies so perfect and complet, but it hath daily neede of increase: for which both the Apostles prayed, 1and wee confesse that we ought alwaies to pray vnto god.
