By Commands.1 Leaving the first principles of the doctrine of Christ, we must go on to perfection; 2we must give diligence to add grace to grace; 3so we are commanded to be strong in the Lord, 4to stand fast in the faith, to quit your selves like men, and be strong, and to abound more and more. 5Many such commands are scattered up and down the Scripture, which shows our duty to grow more and more, and to attain unto greater measures of grace.
