So that one quality, is, to be grounded and constant: Another is that we abound, viz. not stand at ⟨p. 118⟩a stay, but it is required that we run over, as a vessel filled to the top. So that we ought not only, not be drawn away by every wind of doctrine, but we ought to increase in grace; and therefore our estate is compared to the estate of a man, that is first a child, then a young man, then in the perfect age.
