4. The weakest measure of Faith gives thee Communion with Christ, as well as the strongest.
We know the least bud draws sap from the Root as well as the greatest bough: so the weakest measure of Faith, doth as truly ingraft thee into Christ; and by that draw life from Christ, as well as the strongest. The weakest Faith hath communion with the Merits and Blood of Christ, as well as the strongest: hath communion with the Spirit of Christ, the Graces of Christ, as well as the strongest.

Though thou art weak, Christ is strong. His strength is thine, as well as the strongest. Thou art impure, Christ is pure. His Purity is thine as well as others. Thou art ignorant, Christ is wise. His wisdom is thine. Thus the soul hath a communion with Christ, in all his Graces.
