Motive I.

First, God calls for it; And shall we deny it? 1 Thes. 4. 1.

Further-more, Then we beseech you, Brethren, and Exhort you by the Lord Jesus, That as ye have Received of us, how ye ought to walk, and to please God; so you would abound more and more.

The Winds and Seas Obey God; Shall We be Rebels? Let us rather give an Answer like the Eccho! Lord, we will Grow: Do thou Bless thy Word and Sacraments to us; Purge us; Cleanse us; Water us; Manure us; make us Capable of Growth; and let us Day∣ly Grow in every Grace, and never give over till our Dying Day: Say; Lord make us every Day Better, and Best of all at last.
