Again, A great measure of Grace will bear the soul out under a great name, as well as under great means: For a man 1to have a great name to live, and yet to have but a little life, is a stroke of strokes; to be high in name, and little in worth, is a very sad and sore judgement; to have a name to be an eminent Christian, and yet to be poor in faith, in love, in wisdom, in knowledge, &c. is the greatest unhappiness in the world. This stroke is upon many in these days; but that which is saddest of all, is this, they feel it not, they observe it not; but now he that is rich in grace, hath something ⟨p. 238⟩within, that will bear him out under a great name in the world.
