There is a Perfection 1. Of Nature. 2. Of Degrees.
All Believers have the same Perfection of Faith, for kind: but all have not the same Perfection of degrees. Well then, You have that Perfection in the kind: labour for this Perfection of degrees also. Grow up from trust of Affiance, to the trust of Assurance. Let us not ever be staggering and doubting: but come to some grounded persuasion of Gods Love; labour to be rooted and grounded in love; labour to work out all doubts and fears, whereby we dishonour God, wrong our selves.
