And by drawing nigh to God often, you will come to increate your graces abundantly: your graces how will they act the presence of God will draw forth the acts of grace as the presence of the fire draws forth our heat, so the presence of God will draw forth our graces.
And by this means we come to live most holy lives.1 We read of Moses, he was upon the mountain forty days with God, and when he came down his face did so shine, that the people were not able to bear it; what's the reason? it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men? converse much with God, be often with God, be nigh to him, and that will make you shine as lights in the middest of a crooked and perverse generation. We find it so with some that converse much with God, there is a shine upon their very countenances.
