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

not_o rest_v there_o but_o go_v on_o from_o the_o habit_n of_o one_o grace_n to_o another_o because_o all_o grace_n upon_o occasion_n bring_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o a_o christian_n have_v need_n 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

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

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

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

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

and_o not_o to_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o a_o talon_n in_o a_o napkin_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n in_o several_a place_n use_v those_o two_o word_n promiscuous_o to_o
