Use 2. Of Direction to the people of God, that in these various dispensations of Gods grace, They should mutually consider one another. Doth God choose thee a meek mild man, grudge not, or censure those, who are rough and of a more passionate disposition? But let all the children of God admire the grace and power of God, that doth subdue all things to himself. And though thou mayest not have that temptation or infirmity in thee, which thou judgest in another, yet thou mayest have another corruption of another nature: So that the consideration of this, should breed great love amongst the godly, and every one be provoked to give glory unto the grace of God, which is all in all.

- 1None are to rest upon their godly education, but all are to search their own hearts, to see whether they be wrought upon or no.
