1Again, he that would get assurance, must live for it; He must apply himself to do the Will of God in every thing, he must act and exercise all his graces, and labour to grow and increase in grace still;2 he must add grace to grace, and one degree of grace to another, as the Scripture exhorts and commands us to do; single grace is not assuring grace, neither is not growing grace, assuring grace; that grace which is assuring, is consociate and growing, and some ways acting. Therefore let thy knowledge run down in practise, this is the way to get assurance; this is to lay a good foundation against the time of need; 3this is to be a wise builder for eternity, as Christ saith; this is the way to get assurance for ever, to get assurance, which no rain of temptation, nor floods of affliction, nor winds of misapplied Scripture, shall ever be able to overthrow.
