From this point you see, That a little Grace is more worth than the enjoyment of all the world: God may give a man 1the Empire of all the world, and he may do it in wrath, and tend to the furtherance of wrath; but now, if you have but the least drachm of Grace, if you have but any spiritual knowledge of God in Christ; This is eternal life, 2to know thee, and thy Son whom thou hast sent into the world: If thou, hast any Faith, Oh! this is Precious Faith: If ⟨p. 558⟩thou hast any knowledge, Oh it's the Divine Nature, it comes from the infinite Ocean of eternal love and will carry thee to the infinite Ocean of love; Oh! prize Grace, and seek after Grace.
