It is the duty of every Christian to grow and increase in all the parts of Christianity, as well gifts as graces ; to exercise and improve every holy gift, and not to stifle any of those abilities wherewith God hath endowed them.
Página ii - But, for any one so to sit down and satisfy himself with this book prayer, or prescribed form, as to go no farther, this were still to remain in his infancy, and not to grow up in his new nature. This would be as if a man who had once need of crutches, should always afterwards make use* of 'them, and so necessitate himself to a continual impopfency."
