2 USE, To excite you to this Duty: Take these Considerations.
2 VSE, To excite you to this Duty: Take these Considerations.
First, Your Cure is not fully wrought, you are not yet brought home to God. 1 Pet. 3.18. Christ also suffered for sin, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.
Secondly, To keep to your first beginnings, after a long time of growth, is to be Babes still, Heb. 5.12, 13, 14. When for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need to be taught the first Principles of the Oracles of God, and are become such as have need of Milk, and not of strong Meat; for every one that useth Milk, is unskilful in the word of Righteousness, for he is a Babe; but strong Meat belongeth unto them that are of full Age, even those who by reason of use, have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. A Child, if he should continue a Child and an Infant still, is a Monster.
