We should endeavour to the like holiness, and so grow therein daily more and more till we be like unto them: not that we can perform it to the full as they do.1 As also in this regard God himself saith; Be ye holy as I am holy; and yet it were absurd to say or ⟨p. 219⟩think that any man could come to the holiness of God, whose holiness he is commanded to follow. This petition also agreeth well with our desire of hastening the Lords coming, in the former petition.
