The Christians spiritual growth, when seemingly dead and declining. [ 1403]
AS in the lopping of a Tree, there seems to be a kind of diminution and de∣struction,
yet the end and issue of it is better growth; And as the weakning
of the body by Physick, seems to tend to death, yet it produceth better health,
and more strength; and as the ball, by falling downward, riseth upward; and
Water in pipes desc••nds, that it may ascend: So the Christians spiritual growth,
when seemingly dead and declining, and to stand a stay, is still carried on by
the hidden method of God to encrease: For every true Christian is a member
of a thriving body, in which there is no Atrophie, but a continual issuing of spi∣rits
from the head, so that life being wrought by the Spirit of life, never dyeth;
descriptionPage 398
but is alwayes upon the growing hand, ripening and encreasing, even in the
midst of tentations and trouble.
