'Twas a sweet saying of one, O Lord, I never come to thee but by thee; I never go from thee without thee.
'Twas a sweet saying of one, O Lord, I never come to thee but by thee; I never goe from thee without thee.
Sozonem saith of Apollonius, That he never asked any thing of God, but he had it.
And another speaking of Luther, saith, (Hic homo potuit apud Deum quod voluit) He could have what he would of God. Rich men may long for this and that, and have it, they have something that will fetch it, but poor men may not. Oh, now who would not labour as for life, to be rich in Grace? Oh this will bear you out under great means, and under great names, and under great desires; therefore rest not satisfied with a little Grace.
But then sixthly, and lastly, Souls rich in Grace are the honour of Christ, and the glory of Christianity.
