as_o well_o upon_o the_o bad_a as_o the_o good_a of_o his_o fullness_n all_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n 1.9_o joh._n 1.9_o and_o though_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v not_o impart_v to_o all_o alike_o yet_o every_o man_n receive_v a_o sufficient_a portion_n of_o it_o sufficient_a to_o supply_v all_o his_o want_n both_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a for_o as_o if_o you_o dip_v vessel_n of_o different_a size_n into_o the_o sea_n every_o one_o will_v be_v full_a of_o water_n though_o every_o one_o do_v not_o hold_v the_o same_o quantity_n so_o though_o there_o be_v different_a gift_n and_o different_a administration_n and_o different_a measure_n of_o grace_n communicate_v to_o man_n yet_o god_n withhold_v from_o no_o man_n sufficient_a grace_n to_o enable_v he_o to_o be_v good_a and_o virtuous_a and_o to_o answer_v all_o his_o press_a and_o unavoidable_a necessity_n the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n gather_v manna_n 16.18_o exod._n 16.18_o according_a to_o every_o man_n

have_v little_a have_v cause_n to_o repine_v nor_o he_o that_o have_v much_o to_o boast_v one_o man_n be_v surround_v with_o temptation_n burden_v and_o load_v even_o to_o the_o ground_n with_o

so_o thus_o god_n like_o a_o wise_a housholder_n proportion_v his_o gift_n to_o the_o want_v and_o necessity_n of_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n and_o will_v require_v of_o every_o one_o according_a to_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v and_o reward_v they_o according_a to_o their_o work_n he_o that_o have_v but_o one_o talon_n give_v he_o if_o he_o well_o employ_v that_o one_o may_v obtain_v the_o government_n of_o one_o city_n though_o he_o have_v not_o the_o high_a place_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n yet_o he_o will_v find_v admittance_n there_o where_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o

eminent_a example_n of_o patience_n or_o long_o suffer_v or_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n he_o will_v furnish_v he_o with_o proportionable_a measure_n of_o strength_n so_o that_o the_o good_a christian_a may_v rest_v assure_v that_o though_o at_o present_a he_o find_v himself_o weak_a and_o frail_a and_o unable_a to_o undergo_v the_o affliction_n which_o he_o fear_v will_v sudden_o fall_v

performance_n of_o this_o as_o well_o as_o his_o other_o promise_n we_o need_v no_o other_o testimony_n but_o that_o of_o our_o own_o conscience_n for_o if_o we_o look_v back_o upon_o the_o past_a

up_o and_o incite_v to_o do_v good_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o transgress_v god_n command_n have_v general_o be_v because_o we_o have_v not_o improve_v those_o good_a

of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n work_v in_o we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o comply_v with_o it_o to_o encourage_v and_o improve_v it_o and_o if_o we_o do_v so_o then_o it_o will_v certain_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o effect_n for_o which_o god_n at_o the_o first_o design_v and_o intend_v it_o it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o god_n grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o i._n e._n give_v we_o strength_n ability_n and_o mean_n enough_o to_o subdue_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o if_o we_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o dominion_n
