Consider oh Christian who ever thou art, even thou that art in Christ, consider, God hath not trusted thee with grace enough before hand, for one month, no, not for a week, a day; Nay, thou hast not grace enough before hand for the performance of the next duty, or the conquering of the next temptation; nor for the expediting thy self out of the next difficulty; And why so? But that thou mayst learn to live by continual dependence upon Jesus Christ, as Paul did, 1The life that I now live in the flesh, I live it by the faith of the Son of God. Paul lived by fresh influence drawn from Christ by faith, every day and hour: study that life, it is very Mysterious, but exceeding precious. ⟨p. 100⟩Had we our stock before hand, we should quickly spend all, and prove bankrupts: 2God hath laid up all our treasure of Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption in Jesus Christ, and will have us live from hand to mouth, that so we might be safe, and Gods free grace be exalted: 3It is of faith, that it might be by grace, to the end your promise might be sure to all the seed.
