The third argument is taken from sanctification, as it flows from the regeneration of the spirit, and from the word of God, which are the proper causes thereof, verse 22. 3. 4. 5. whereby the way that part of Christian duty is commended, that hath respect to the mutual love of the faithful amongst themselves, verse 22. because all the faithful by regeneration, are made partakers of the same spiritual life; but yet the chiefest argument, whereby we are exhorted to constancy in that and every other grace, is taken from the incorruptible nature of the word, whereby we are regenerated, and consequently of regeneration it self; which is set forth by a comparison of things that are unlike it.
