revealing juitiñcation
by Faith in
Chrift
:
it
brings
peace
with
it
and,
by
whom we
have
aecef
,
and
rejoyce
in
hope
of
the
glory
of
God
;
and
not
only
fo,
bitt
we
glory in
tribu-
lation,
knowing
that,
&c.
What
knowledge
is
this
?
It's
this,
that
we
are
juflified by
Faith and
fo come
to
have
peace
with
God
;
How
does
this caufe the
heart to
be
enlarged
?
we
rejoyce
in
the
hope
of
the
glory of
God
,
and
not
only fo,
but
we are
ftrengthned
and
can
glory
in
tribulation
;
our
hearts
grow
up to
that ftrength
,
that
whatfoever tribulations
we
meet withal,
we
are
able
to
bear them with patience,
and not
only
fo, but to
glory
in
them, we not
only
grow
up to bear
that
which
many
cannot,
but
to
rejoice
in
them, that
is
more,
and then
to
glory
is
above
rejoycing
:
No,
Do
you
find
that
the
affurance
that you
have
of
the love
of
God
,
brings
ftrength
in
to
your
foul
,
to
finable
you
to rejoyce
in
hope
of
the
glory
to
come ? as
if
the
Apoftle
had faid, let
what
will
become
of
us
for
the
prefent, what though
the
world fcorn
us,
hate, per
-
fecute us,
yet
we
rejoyce
in
hope
of
the
glory
that
is
to come ;
and this makes
usglory in tribulation
;
knowing,
that tribula-
tion
works
patience
;
patience,
experience
;
and
experience,
hope
:
Here's
a
working
of
feveral graces
together,
and this
may
help many
a
poor
foul.
O
fays
the
foul at fuch
a
time,
I
had
a
great
deal
of
affurance
of
pardon
of
fin, and much
joy
thereupon
:
But have not
Hypocrites
joy
?
yes
certainly,
a
Hypocrite
may
have wonderful
ravifhments
of
fpirit,
and
flafhes
of
pardon of
fin,
but
yet
there
is
fomewhat
wanting
in
other
graces
;
but
how
(hall J
know that
my
affurance
of
pardon
of
fin
is
right
?
thus, according
to
the degree you
have
of
affurance
of
pardon
,
you have
an
anfwerable
degree
in
the
growth
of
other
graces,
as
Humility,
Patience
,
Hea-
venly-
mindednefs,
Self
-
denyal,
and
the
reft,
according as
your
faith
grows,
fo
you
have
a
proportionable growth
in
all
other
graces
;
faith
is
as
the
root
,
and
the more lap there
is
in
the
root, the
more will
the
branches
grow
:
thofe
people
that
are
fo full
of
affurance, and never
doubted,
as
they fay
;
but
as
for
other
graces
they are
empty,
as
the Fear
of
God
,
Meeknefs,
