“What is grace but glory begun” by Thomas Brooks

“For what is grace but glory begun?

And what is glory but grace perfected?

Grace is glory in the bud, and glory is grace at the full.”

–Thomas Brooks, “Heaven on Earth,” The Works of Thomas Brooks, Volume 2, ed. Alexander Balloch Grosart (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1867/1980), 2: 319.
