3. God doth expressly promise to strengthen and increase their grace; The righteous 1shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger, Job 17. 9. The path of the just shall be as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Prov. 4. 18. He will make all grace to abound; he will work in us to will and to do of his own good pleasure; Those that are planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the Courts of our God; they shall still bring forth fruit in old age.
