2 It should much ease us to remember, that we are not ¹under the Law, but under Grace, Rom. 6. 14. We are delivered from the rigour of the Law, God now doth not expect perfection from us, nor accounts us as transgressors, because we are imperfect, but hath received us to the benefit of the new Covenant: In which, perfection is only required in Christ, and uprightness ⟨p. 361⟩in us.

3 We may be very weak in strength and power of gifts, and ¹yet very fruitful: We may do much good while we are in the Infancy of Grace, which the comparison of the vine, (to which the godly are resembled) shows.

Now the godly are likened to the Vine, Isaiah 7. 2. to show, that all their weakness not withstanding, they may be abundant in pleasing fruit.
