There are three things that the Scripture calls precious.
First, The Blood of Christ. In 1 Pet. 1. 19. Ye are not redeemed with silver, and gold, but with the Precious Blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish, and without spot.
Secondly, The Promises are called Precious Promises. 2 Pet. 1. 4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and Precious Promises.
Thirdly, Faith is called Precious Faith. Vers. 1. Unto them that have obtained like Precious Faith with us. Now though it be of concernment for every Saint to labour to be rich in every grace; yet more especially, and more particularly to be rich in this Grace of faith, and that upon this account that follows.
