* 1.1If any humbled Christian finde not this measure of sanctification in him∣selfe, yet let him not be discouraged. For if any man haue a a 1.2 willingnesse, and a desire to obey all Gods commandements, he hath the spirit, and he who hath the spirit is in Christ, and he who is in Christ shall neuer see damnation. And though he faile greatly in the action of obedience, yet God will accept his affection to obey, as obedience acceptable vnto him. God will approoue of thee for his owne worke which hee hath wrought in thee, and not reiect thee for thine.
