'Tis the duty and the glory of Saints, to endeavour to grow rich in every grace. So the Apostle, 2 Pet. 1. 5. to 12. Add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, &c. It is the work, the duty, the glory of a Christian, to be still adding one grace to another. So in Chap. 3. 18. Grow in Grace (that is, in every grace, but more particularly and specially) in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Grow in Grace, that is, grow in love, in faith, in humility, in meekness, &c. but especially in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, because that was a special remedy against the errors of those times, &c. All the graces that be in you, are weak, and therefore you had need to strengthen them all.
