Then again, that we may walk in the grace of God, and in the sense of it: let us every day labour to have our souls more and more enriched 1with the endowments and graces of Gods Spirit, that we may be objects of Gods delight. Let us labour to be affected to things as he is affected, two cannot walk together except they be agreed. Let us hate that which God hates, and delight in that which God delights in, that we may have a kind of complacency, and be in love with the blessed work of the Spirit of God more and more: Let us labour to delight in them that grow in grace; as the nearer any one comes to our likeness, the more we grow in familiarity with them. Labour also to preserve a clear soul, that God may shine upon us. God delights not in strangeness to us, his desire is that we may walk in the sense and assurance of his grace and favour.
