Now therefore my Brethren, since there is enough in Christ, study how to draw it out: Indeed it will require a great deal of holy skill to do it; It requires wisdom to draw out the excellencies of a man: Counsel in the heart of a man is deep, 1but a man of understanding will draw it out: It is a fine art to be able to pierce a man, that is like a Vessel full of Wine, and set him a running; but to draw out influence and virtue from the Lord Jesus is one of the most secret hidden Mysteries in the life of a Christian; indeed we may complain, 2The Well is deep and we have nothing to draw withal; But labour to get your Bucket of faith, that you may be able to draw water out of this Well of Salvation; 3Labour by vital acts of a powerful faith; set on work in Mediation and Prayer, to draw virtue and influence from Jesus Christ; the Mouth of Prayer, and the breathings of Faith from an heart soaked and steeped in holy Meditations, applied to Jesus Christ, will certainly (though perhaps insensibly) draw virtue from him. Behold, Faith drew virtue from Christ by a touch of his Garments; shall it not much more draw out that rich and precious influence, by applying of him in the promises, and in his Offices unto our souls?
