7. Lastly, It is that which will wonderfully enlarge your graces; 1the Apostle delivers it in the general, that the knowledge of the love of Christ, is a means by which we come to be filled with all the fullness of God. Eph. 3. 19. See but Luke 7. 38. You shall find that much was there forgiven; the woman, though a great sinner, was graciously reconciled; what follows on this, she loved much, she wept much, she humbled her self much, her affections to Christ; her tears for her sins, her humility of spirit, all of them are set down as exemplary copies; this is it, which will make the light of our Moon, to be as the light of the Sun; and our light of the Sun, as the light of seven days.
