Is it not a great matter, §4for a man to be in Heaven before he comes there?1 To have eternal life in this world? This is eternal life, to know thee, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. And that day that any soul begins to know Jesus Christ: that day is the day-break of his eternity: the Saints that are in Heaven, they count from that day; there began our eternity; This is eternal life; here it begins. All the Saints and People of God, they do know God in Jesus Christ. And therefore surely, There is an Abundance of Grace, Grace for Grace, an Abundance of Grace Communicated, and given our unto all the Saints under the new Testament.
But you will say unto me: Object. We do not find this in experience, do not see such an Abundance of Grace in the lives of those ye count godly; those that are in Christ indeed, we do not find that they have such an Abundance of Grace?
I but, Ans. Do you consider, The Opposition of Grace: The Retinue of Grace: And the Mystery of Grace.
