“Look upon all that you have received, and all that you shall hereafter receive,
as the fruit of free grace.

Look upon thy adoption, and write this motto, _This is the fruit of free grace. _

Look upon thy justification, and write this motto, _This is the fruit of free grace._

Look upon all thy graces, and write, _These are the fruits of free grace._

Look upon thy experiences, and write, _These are the fruits of free grace. _

Look upon thy strength to withstand temptations, and write, _This is the fruit of
free grace. _

Look upon divine power to conquer corruptions, and write, _This is the fruit of 
free grace. _

Look upon the bread thou eatest, the beer thou drinkest, the clothes thou wearest,
and write, _These are the fruits of free grace_.

1 Cor. 4:7, ‘Who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou
hast not received? and if thou hast received it, why dost thou glory as though thou
hadst not received it? Who maketh thee to differ?’

This age is full of such proud monsters, but an humble soul sees free grace to be
the spring and fountain of all his mercies and comforts. He writes free grace upon
all his temporals, and upon all his spirituals.”
