1. A fullness of the Subject. The united strength of the heart must be joined together; not to serve God with distractions, an heart for him, and an heart for the creature.
1. A fulnesse of the Subject. The united strength of the heart must be joyned together; not to serve God with distractions, an heart for him, and an heart for the creature.
2. A fullness of the Object; every work of the Lord. They are to be prepared for every good work. You read of many that did many good things, Joash, Amasiah, Herod, but because they were not fully for every good work, they lost this reward. Now of all works, those that do more immediately relate to God, to the Gospel, his truth, any work looking this way will be rewarded Hence a Cup of cold water given to a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, Mat. 10.41. in reference to this work, shall have a Prophets reward.

And lastly, Fullness of degree. They are to abound in the work of the Lord; to add one grace to another, to be rich in faith and other graces.
