the_o full_a signification_n of_o it_o the_o first_o be_v the_o latitude_n or_o extent_n of_o the_o word_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n from_o strength_n to_o strength_n that_o be_v from_o one_o habit_n of_o grace_n to_o another_o habit_n of_o grace_n that_o when_o we_o have_v attain_v the_o pitch_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a of_o any_o grace_n we_o shall_v not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o there_o be_v other_o grace_n to_o be_v attain_v that_o as_o a_o man_n that_o will_v learn_v perfect_o to_o read_v must_v go_v through_o the_o whole_a list_n and_o alphabet_n of_o letter_n and_o none_o be_v to_o be_v except_v so_o he_o that_o will_v come_v to_o take_v out_o the_o whole_a lesson_n of_o christianity_n must_v set_v out_o the_o whole_a lesson_n sentence_n and_o syllable_n the_o whole_a choir_n of_o grace_n and_o labour_n to_o come_v to_o a_o competent_a measure_n and_o perfection_n of_o habit_n in_o all_o when_o he_o have_v get_v one_o he_o must_v

in_o this_o world_n of_o every_o grace_n and_o every_o grace_n lead_v alike_o to_o the_o same_o excellency_n of_o glory_n and_o the_o same_o blessing_n and_o reward_n be_v state_v upon_o it_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v true_a as_o gregory_n nazianzen_n say_v well_o some_o particular_a grace_n be_v more_o proper_a to_o some_o particular_a estate_n and_o age_n of_o man_n repentance_n be_v a_o grace_n more_o proper_a to_o they_o that_o be_v fall_v and_o perseverance_n be_v a_o grace_n more_o proper_a to_o they_o that_o stand_v a_o man_n that_o be_v down_o can_v be_v call_v to_o persevere_v he_o be_v not_o yet_o raise_v but_o a_o man_n that_o be_v up_o his_o proper_a grace_n that_o have_v his_o foot_n already_o set_v in_o christianity_n be_v to_o exhort_v he_o to_o persevere_v and_o to_o exhort_v the_o other_o to_o rise_v so_o alms-deed_n it_o be_v a_o grace_n that_o be_v more_o proper_a to_o he_o that_o be_v rich_a and_o contentation_n to_o the_o poor_a call_v to_o a_o poor_a man_n for_o alm_n he_o have_v the_o alm_n of_o prayer_n not_o of_o relief_n it_o be_v not_o a_o grace_n so_o proper_a to_o carry_v it_o further_o modesty_n and_o sobriety_n they_o be_v grace_n proper_a to_o they_o that_o be_v young_a wisdom_n and_o gravity_n and_o discretion_n be_v grace_n proper_a to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o year_n that_o be_v old_a thankfulness_n be_v a_o proper_a grace_n for_o he_o that_o abound_v in_o prosperity_n and_o patience_n be_v a_o proper_a grace_n for_o he_o that_o be_v in_o adversity_n so_o nazienzen_n say_v well_o there_o be_v grace_n more_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o certain_a condition_n of_o man_n but_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o every_o grace_n be_v needful_a and_o necessary_a to_o all_o because_o every_o man_n may_v be_v set_v in_o every_o

christian_a but_o he_o have_v need_n of_o every_o grace_n because_o he_o may_v be_v set_v in_o every_o condition_n and_o estate_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o attain_v some_o one_o grace_n and_o to_o neglect_v the_o other_o to_o mortify_v some_o one_o vice_n and_o fall_v into_o another_o that_o stand_v not_o with_o the_o nature_n of_o repentance_n to_o attain_v to_o some_o one_o virtue_n with_o the_o contempt_n of_o another_o it_o stand_v not_o with_o the_o state_n of_o breathe_v after_o perfection_n for_o a_o man_n to_o subdue_v pride_n and_o keep_v covetousness_n or_o to_o subdue_v covetousness_n and_o keep_v envy_v and_o malice_n each_o of_o these_o make_v he_o equal_o abominable_a to_o god_n for_o a_o man_n to_o attain_v to_o the_o habit_n of_o charity_n and_o not_o to_o study_v the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n or_o to_o attain_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n and_o not_o to_o give_v accomplishment_n to_o it_o by_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n or_o to_o attain_v to_o some_o degree_n of_o obedience_n and_o to_o neglect_v the_o grace_n of_o patience_n and_o meekness_n or_o the_o rest_n he_o will_v not_o at_o all_o come_v on_o to_o many_o degree_n of_o strength_n there_o must_v be_v a_o connexion_n of_o all_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n we_o must_v glorify_v god_n by_o charity_n as_o well_o as_o by_o faith_n by_o repentance_n as_o well_o as_o by_o charity_n and_o by_o obedience_n as_o well_o as_o by_o repentance_n and_o by_o humbleness_n of_o mind_n and_o patience_n as_o well_o as_o by_o obedience_n the_o grace_n be_v all_o link_v together_o they_o make_v up_o one_o body_n or_o rather_o one_o soul_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o mystical_a ody_n of_o christ_n ephes_n 4._o collos_n 1._o in_o who_o the_o body_n fit_o compact_v together_o so_o it_o grow_v up_o as_o all_o the_o several_a member_n of_o christ_n knit_v by_o the_o same_o faith_n make_v one_o solid_a mesticall_a body_n so_o all_o the_o grace_n together_o make_v up_o one_o choir_n there_o be_v one_o chain_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v so_o necessary_o link_v that_o as_o in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n take_v away_o one_o and_o you_o deform_v the_o whole_a so_o break_v one_o grace_n you_o mar_v the_o whole_a chain_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n call_v ever_o and_o anon_o that_o we_o be_v fruitful_a in_o every_o good_a work_n to_o labour_n to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n we_o do_v whatsoever_o thing_n be_v just_a what_o must_v i_o stay_v there_o no_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v true_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v honest_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v pure_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v lovely_a here_o be_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n we_o must_v go_v from_o justice_n to_o purity_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o honesty_n and_o so_o to_o loveliness_n and_o that_o be_v a_o good_a decorum_n in_o a_o christian_n conversation_n the_o apostle_n peter_n express_o tell_v we_o of_o these_o juncture_n add_v to_o

and_o step_n these_o be_v the_o habit_n of_o virtue_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o psalmist_n add_v strength_n to_o strength_n virtue_n to_o virtue_n habit_n to_o habit_n he_o name_v they_o several_o to_o show_v that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o attain_v the_o perfection_n of_o some_o one_o we_o must_v not_o stay_v there_o from_o habit_n to_o habit_n that_o be_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n that_o be_v the_o first_o latitude_n next_o to_o proceed_v from_o the_o habit_n to_o the_o act_n of_o virtue_n habit_n be_v dry_a and_o cold_a if_o they_o show_v not_o themselves_o in_o act_n they_o may_v glorify_v god_n within_o but_o they_o can_v without_o further_o than_o they_o manifest_v themselves_o in_o action_n therefore_o the_o next_o from_o strength_n to_o strength_n be_v from_o the_o habit_n to_o the_o act_n admit_v a_o man_n attain_v all_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n name_v if_o those_o grace_n be_v perfect_a in_o

they_o st._n austin_n observe_v in_o one_o place_n against_o the_o heathen_n that_o christian_a virtue_n far_o excel_v the_o m●rall_a virtue_n of_o the_o heathen_a even_o by_o the_o very_a name_n they_o be_v call_v say_v he_o you_o call_v your_o virtue_n habit_n we_o call_v we_o gift_n you_o ascribe_v it_o to_o your_o self_n and_o therefore_o you_o call_v they_o habit_n because_o you_o have_v they_o but_o we_o call_v they_o gift_n because_o we_o receive_v they_o from_o god_n every_o good_a gift_n be_v from_o above_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o very_a good_a argument_n that_o st._n
