AS Abimelech's Souldiers, some cut down greater branches, some lesser, accor∣ding to the proportion of their strength.* 1.1 And as St. Paul's Mariners, some were saved on boards,* 1.2 some on broken pieces of the Ship. Even so amongst Christi∣ans, some in their approaches unto God carry a greater, some a lesser confidence; and some arive at the Port of Heaven with one measure of trust, some with another; For
as the members of the body,* 1.3 are knit unto the head, but some neerer, some further off: So in Christ's body, all draw grace from him, yet in difference of grace, in difference of hope, yet all have anchor-hold enough to stay by, for their better support.
