Q. 7. What are the causes of a Christians growth?
A. Union with Christ. John 15.4. As the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye except ye abide in me. And his Blessings on the Ordinances. Isa. 55.10, 11. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven▪ and returneth not thither▪ but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud▪ that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; So shall my word be that goeth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. And Providences. Phil. 1 19
