It is no easie labour to assure so great happinesse. There is need of much di∣ligence to settle us in a full perswasion of our election and vocation. * 1.1 We de∣sire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end. There is no growth in any art or science without great diligence, and growth is our study, and the end
of our labour. So in the conclusion of this Epistle, * 1.2 Beware ye fall not from your own stedfastnesse, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Heb. 6.11.
2 Pet. 3.17, 18.
