Thus Faith, feeds, not only upon the Word: but the choice of the Word, the Promises. Yea, and not only the Promises, but the choice and freest of the Promises: the Cream, the spirits of Nourishment.
And according to the proportion of Faiths feeding hereon, such is the proportion of strength and nourishment conveyed down into the Soul. He that feeds sparingly, is but a spare Christian, gets but little strength: He that eats liberally is strongly nourished.
And according to the proportion of Faiths feeding hereon, such is the proportion of strength and nourishment conveyed down into the Soul. Hee that feeds sparingly, is but a spare Christian, gets but little strength: Hee that eats liberally is strongly nourished.
The difference that we see in Christians here; some weak, others strong; Some Infants and Babes, others Grown men, some thrown down with every blast of Temptation, others able to stand out all assaults: The difference ariseth hence, that some feed more sparingly, some more liberally by Faith upon the Promises of Grace: and so some are stronger than others are.
