Again, Consider this, growing rich in every grace renders a Christian most lovely and beautiful in grace. As a growth in all the members of the body, renders the body most lovely and beautiful; the perfect beauty and comeliness of the body rises from the symmetry and fitness of the parts unto one another. Rare and excellent beauty ariseth from the comeliness of all parts; if one part be comely, and another deformed, then there is no perfect beauty. Well, remember this, there's no such beautiful Christians, as those that grow rich in every grace: Oh! they are the beauty of Christ, the honour of the Gospel, and the glory of Christianity.
