Character 6 6. Another char this is, that man that hath an interest in Christ, doth grow up in Christ to be fruitful in every good work; hence it is that you often read in the scripture, of growing up in Christ, & increasing in Christ with the increase of God. Jesus Christ is the root of Jesse, in whom whosoever is rooted and engrafted, he will bring forth fruit unto God: whosoever is engrafted into Christ, he will bring forth the fruits of righteousness to the praise and glory of God. Joh. 15. 5. I am the 1vine (says Christ) and you are the branches, he that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me you can do nothing: why now beloved, you that make it out to your own souls, that you do grow in grace, and knowledge, and understanding, and in the duties of sanctification, humiliation, and mortification, this is a sure argument that you are planted into that root of Jesse, that makes you to bring forth fruit unto God.
