And then, Learn this lesson, and it would be a great help to you for the learning how to abound: That is, That God doth but very seldom trust, his own people with these Outward Comforts (that we have spoken to in the opening of it) but now I bring it in as a lesson that is to be learned, and show you how that will help you how to abound: I spoke of it by way of evidence that it is a difficult thing for us to learn how to abound. Now this lesson will put us upon this, To learn to be so much the more watchful over our selves.
