Before we come to the use of Caution, I shall here state a case of conscience, which is this, 1That if amongst Gods People there are some found that have but little grace, and but small measures found in them; Then what is the least measure of grace, less then which a man cannot be said to be in the state of grace?
BEfore we come to the use of Caution, I shall here state a case of conscience, which is this, 1That if amongst Gods People there are some found that have but little grace, and but small measures found in them; Then what is the least measure of geace, less then which a man cannot be said to be in the state of grace?
- 1A case of conscience resolved.
This is a practical and useful case.
First: this is of great use to Christians, who are but of a lower form in Religion, and have but little grace; yet they may know that little they have: and though they have not attained strength of grace; yet they may know the truth of grace in themselves: and although they come short of strong believers, yet they shall hereby know they go beyond the hypocrite: for the least measure of grace, is better then the greatest measure of gifts.
