Again, No Saints have at all times alike gales of the spirit of God, and therefore they do not grow in spiritual riches at all times alike. A man thrives in spiritual riches as the gales of the spirit of God are upon him, and no otherwise: ⟨p. 263⟩When the spirit of the Lord doth blow most sweetly 1and strongly upon his heart, then his graces thrive and flourish most, then those beds of spices do yield the most fragrant smell. But when the spirit of the Lord doth withdraw, and with-hold his influences, how does the strength and glory 2of grace, wither and decay?
