And Faith urging the Precepts of God, makes use of the Promises of God: sues out the Promise, and fetches strength from the Promise, to perform the Precept. — Lord, thou hast commanded me to make me a new heart: and thou hast promised to take this stony heart from me, and to give me an heart of Flesh. Lord, perform thy Promise to thy Servant, in which thou madest me put my trust. Thou commandest me to be Holy, and thou hast promised to make me holy: Thou art the Lord, that Sanctifies. Lord, make me Holy. — Da quod jubes, & jube quod vis: sic enim implebitur voluntas tua, & obedientia nostra: give what thou commandest, and command what thou wilt: and so both our obedience and thy Will shall be fulfilled.
