Hence we see the sight of no Grace is no part of a Christians Grace and Holiness.¹ The five Foolish Virgins were not shut out because they did not see they had no Oil, but because when they did see it, (as the Lord will make you see it first or last) they did not get such a measure and quantity of it as might fill their Vessel. You may go down to Hell with complaints I have nothing, unless the eternal Spirit work something at last in you.
