2. The Spirit helps them in the weakness of their graces; He waters the plants, 1and blows upon the buds, and draws on his works of grace towards perfection: He doth (as it were) Nurse them up, and breed, and brood them up. He helps your •imme knowledge, by adding light unto light, and opening more and more the eyes of your understanding to know the things of God in Christ. He helps the weak and staggering faith, by adding faith unto faith, in answering your doubts, and evidencing your grounds and interests in Jesus Christ. He is the wind which blows upon your garden, and makes the Spices there of to flow out, Cant. 4. 16.
