If you grow not, 'tis because you feed not: you play with the ⟨p. 102⟩Breast, you suck not daily. A man may have meat before him, and yet dye, if he feed not. The best feeder here is the best grower. The Larger the appetite, the stronger the Christian. The more the soul doth feed upon Promise, still the more strength is conveyed to the soul, the more the soul is nourished.
