In vain do we bemoan the decay of our ⟨graces⟩, and our ſlow progreſs and improvement in Chriſtianity, whilſt we wilfully deſpiſe the ⟨beſt⟩ means of our growth in goodneſs. Well do ⟨we⟩ deſerve that God ſhould ſend leanneſs into ⟨our⟩ ſouls, and make them to conſume and pine ⟨away⟩ in perpetual doubting and trouble, if, ⟨when⟩ God himſelf doth ſpread a Table for us, and ⟨ſet⟩ before us the bread of life, we will not ⟨come⟩ and feed upon it with joy and thankfulneſſe.
