I but though a man have Abundance of Grace, and be Abundant in the work of the Lord; yet notwithstanding, if he be not Constant therein, he does not cause the way of Christ to be well spoken of: what will men say? I, he is wound up to a great height for the present, but stay a little, and you will find Him down by and by.
Yea, though a man be Abundant; and Constant: yet if he be not Humble, he does not honour the way of Christ: ⟨p. 110⟩when a man is Abundant in good, Constant therein, and walks Humbly; what says the world then? I, there's the man, if all Professors were such; I, there's an Humble man, there's a self-denying man; I, if you were all such, if you were all such, then I should like the ways of God the better. Take heed therefore, unto your lives, that you so walk, as that the ways of Jesus Christ may be well spoken of by you.
