The soul hath now liberty to […] and improve §4Christ, and all he is, and hath, and doth for our Spiritual Advancement, and so to live upon our own, our Revenues, and comings in from Jesus Christ, Gal. 2. 19. That I now live it is by the faith of Jesus, Phil 4. 13. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me; he hath provisions about him to live comfortably and contentedly in all conditions; I can be rich, and I can be poor; I can abound, and I can be abased: Mens Patrimonies and Possessions may help them to be rich, but to learn them how to be poor they will not, nay, rather indispose them; and God would have us not only live Christianly, but comfortably, Heb. 6. 17, 18. He hath sworn that he will bless us in his Christ, that by two immutable things we might have strong consolation; nay, To grow up in him in all things, Eph. 4. 15, 16. that we may grow rich in peace and comfort, and assurance, in grace and holiness, and all the good things of Jesus Christ.
