1. An upright man is perfect with1 a perfection of parts, though not of degrees. There is no part of him but is embroidered, and bespangled with grace; though he be sanctified but in part, yet in every part; therefore grace in a believer is called the new man, Col. 3. 10. The work of the Spirit in the heart is a thorough work, Psalm 51. 2. wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Grace in the ⟨p. 45⟩heart is like air in the twilight, there is no part of the air but hath some light in it, and in this sense the upright man is perfect.
