5. He will crown your holiness; ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end 1everlasting life, Rom. 6. 22. Blessed are the poor in heart, for they shall see God, Matth. 5. 8. Therefore is holiness called a change from glory to glory, 2 Cor. 3. 18. Holiness at first is weak and little, at length it is much and strong, at last it shall be perfect and glorious. At first it is like a spark of fire covered with ashes, at length it is like a burning fire, at last like a flaming fire; at first it is in groans and desires, at length it is in conflicts and combats, at last it is in victory and glory.
