All common gifts will never grow up to glory, though they grow up to the height of glory, but the grace of God, true grace, it is of the same nature with eternal glory. Therefore for the kind of it, it is the greatest good that ever God did, or that ever he will communicate to any creature for all eternity. I say, where ever God hath communicated any dram of grace,1 that is the greatest good that ever God did, or ever will communicate to all eternity, to any of his creatures, therefore it is exceeding excellent.
