[ 573] Sanctification not wrought all at once, and why.

HE that will dye a Purple in grain,* 1.1 doth give his cloth inferior colours first, and after many dippings in many preparative liquors, he doth at length perfect the colour, and gives it its full lustre: Even so the splendor of Sanctity is not attained in the first moment of our Conversion, many a line must be drawn in our souls by the sprit of God, before we can fully recover his Image: Not that there is any inabili∣ty in God, so that he cannot in a moment as in the Creation make us both innocent & holy, but he is pleased by the difficulty on our part, to make us mindful of our former unthriftiness, and careful to husband Grace better, when he is pleased to give it.
