A55567	A sanctuary for the tempted: being a discourse on Christ's friendly admonition to Peter Wherein the fall and rising of Peter, is at large considered: the craft, potency, and malice of Satan (that arch-enemy of our salvation) discovered: his various wiles. stratagems and machinations invalidated: several choice and excellent Gospel-truths handled, and cleared (from the calumnies and objections of gainsayers.) ... Delivered in sundry sermons, at first; and now, published for the benefit of God's church in general. To which is added, four sermons, preach'd upon sacramental occasions. By Thomas Powel, preacher of the Gospel, and one, whom Satan hath winnowed.	Powell, Thomas.	1679 (1679)	Wing P3075; ESTC R30536	152,491	435

influence_n first_o faith_n find_v all_o the_o grace_n with_o work_n as_o the_o rich_a tradesman_n give_v out_o his_o wool_n some_o to_o this_o man_n and_o some_o to_o that_o who_o all_o spin_v and_o

the_o fruit_n of_o it_o be_v the_o production_n of_o good_a work_n yea_o so_o excellent_a be_v faith_n that_o it_o be_v compare_v

but_o a_o almighty_a power_n there_o be_v no_o power_n below_o that_o power_n which_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o make_v this_o world_n can_v raise_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v when_o god_n make_v the_o world_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o oppose_v he_o have_v only_o then_o to_o do_v with_o simple_a nothing_o but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o make_v the_o heart_n believe_v he_o find_v opposition_n and_o rebellion_n it_o be_v a_o miracle_n for_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v nay_o what_o be_v faith_n but_o a_o mystery_n second_o faith_n be_v very_o useful_a to_o such_o that_o have_v it_o it_o be_v usefulness_n appear_v in_o these_o three_o particular_n first_o in_o repel_v temptation_n without_o faith_n we_o can_v resist_v so_o much_o as_o one_o temptation_n ephes._n 6._o 16._o by_o faith_n we_o can_v resist_v temptation_n by_o faith_n we_o bear_v affliction_n by_o faith_n we_o foil_n corruption_n by_o faith_n we_o endure_v persecution_n by_o faith_n we_o

list_n with_o he_o but_o by_o have_v this_o shield_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v so_o exceed_v useful_a therein_o second_o faith_n be_v useful_a in_o a_o art_n of_o spiritual_a extraction_n that_o it_o have_v faith_n can_v extract_v good_a out_o of_o evil._n a_o unbeliever_n can_v see_v nothing_o in_o affliction_n but_o a_o lump_n of_o pine_a grief_n and_o sorrow_n but_o a_o believer_n know_v that_o

of_o it_o may_v wean_v he_o from_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o creature_n faith_n explain_v that_o paradox_n can_v a_o man_n gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o fig_n of_o thistle_n yea_o out_o of_o trial_n and_o persecution_n faith_n can_v extract_n joy_n and_o peace_n three_o faith_n be_v useful_a in_o that_o it_o have_v a_o mighty_a and_o universal_a influence_n upon_o all_o our_o other_o grace_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n indeed_o do_v infuse_v all_o the_o seed_n and_o habit_n of_o grace_n but_o faith_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o the_o act_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v as_o the_o
