Now what will make a man live up to this Principle? will a little grace? Surely no. But great measures of grace will. 1Zechariah and Elizabeth were rich in grace, and they lived up to this Principle, Luke 1. 5. They walked in all the Commandments of the Lord blameless. The Apostles were rich in grace, ⟨p. 229⟩and they lived up to this Principle, 2 Cor, 1. 12. This is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, we have had our conversation in the world. So in 1 Thess. 2. 10. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, justly, and unblameably, we have behaved our selves among you that believe. Oh here are souls that live up to their Principles. A Christian that is rich in grace, is excellent all over.
