So is it also with respect unto Grace and Mercy considered comparatively as collated on one and not another, Rom. 9. 15, 16. 1 Cor. 4. 7. there is no other Spring or Fountain of any Grace or Mercy. It may be some may hope to educe Grace out of their own wills and endeavours, and to obtain mercy by their own Duties and Obedience: But the Scripture knows no such thing, nor do Believers find it in their experience.
Let them who have received the least of Grace and Mercy know from whence they have received it, and whereunto they are beholding for it. A due consideration of this Sovereign Spring of all Grace and Consolation will greatly influence our minds in and unto all the principal Duties of Obedience. Such as thankfulness to God, Ephes. 1. 3, 4, 5. Humility in our selves, 1 Cor. 4. 7. Compassion towards others, 2 Tim. 2. 25, 26.
