And we have many promises concerning divine Assistance, and if we did but stir up the Grace of God that is in us, 1we should find the Assistance of God, and the Glorious breakings forth of his power and love, according to his promise, and the work that he requires of us, Isa. 26. 12. Chap. 64. 5. &c. Though no believer doth what he should do, yet doubtless every believer might do more then he doth do, in order to Gods glory and his own and others internal and eternal good. Affection without endeavour is like Rachel, beautiful, but barren. They are blessed that do what 2they can, though they cannot but under-do.
