1. With Holiness of the Heart. The soul is universally sanctified.1 There's a Treasury of Grace. There are all Graces, though as yet in weakness. So much Faith as there is: so much Love, so much Hope, so much sorrow for sin. They are like the Fountain, and the Flood, whereof the one ariseth no higher than the other. Thus where there is Faith, there is Sanctification. Though Sanctification be no Ingredient to Justification: yet Faith and Sanctification; Faith and the new Creature never went asunder. There is a new ⟨p. 146⟩Judgement of things: a new Will to things: New Desires and Affections: New Principles: New Purposes: New Practices.— Old things are past away: behold, All things are become new.

2. With Holiness in Life. Though it cannot bring forth as strong fruits of Holiness: yet it will bring forth fruits according to its strength. A little Tree, a young Tree may bring forth some good fruits, though not in equal quantity to another of greater growth. So he that hath the meanest Faith, he lives an holy Life; brings forth some good fruits, though not so plentiful in good works, as they, whose Faith is come to a more perfect growth.
