So that God as he stablisheth us, so he stablisheth us as it becometh Christians, as it becomes men, by sanctifying our understandings, by working grace in our hearts, the grace of fear, of wisdom, of faith, of peace, &c. so that a Christian now cannot presume, save in a holy kind of presumption, that God will finish his own good work.
