lord_n do_v it_o all_o way_n be_v alike_o easy_a to_o he_o alike_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o contrive_v alike_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o use_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o his_o infinite_a he_o power_n know_v no_o degree_n of_o ease_n or_o strength_n in_o any_o way_n all_o be_v alike_o to_o he_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o he_o to_o save_v by_o many_o or_o to_o save_v by_o few_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o deliver_v his_o people_n he_o seldom_o do_v it_o that_o way_n that_o his_o people_n expect_v seldom_o it_o walk_v in_o the_o path_n that_o we_o have_v causey_v for_o he_o or_o by_o the_o line_n that_o we_o have_v chalk_v out_o for_o his_o direction_n seldom_o or_o never_o do_v god_n take_v that_o way_n we_o be_v prone_a to_o deal_v with_o god_n as_o naaman_n do_v when_o the_o prophet_n have_v send_v for_o he_o to_o cure_v that_o he_o and_o his_o master_n may_v know_v there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o israel_n who_o know_v how_o to_o cure_v he_o of_o his_o leprosy_n naaman_n believe_v it_o but_o he_o have_v fancy_v by_o the_o way_n how_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v now_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v find_v a_o cure_n and_o he_o will_v sure_o come_v out_o to_o i_o and_o strike_v his_o hand_n over_o the_o place_n and_o stand_v and_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v see_v a_o miraculous_a work_n wrought_v upon_o i_o the_o prophet_n go_v clean_o another_o way_n and_o because_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o come_v out_o and_o take_v that_o way_n he_o think_v of_o he_o go_v away_o in_o a_o rage_n and_o think_v there_o be_v no_o cure_n for_o he_o so_o very_o most_o people_n deal_v with_o god_n we_o think_v this_o be_v the_o way_n how_o our_o deliverance_n must_v come_v by_o such_o a_o parliament_n by_o such_o a_o army_n by_o such_o a_o design_n by_o such_o a_o association_n by_o such_o and_o the_o other_o way_n here_o it_o must_v come_v if_o this_o way_n fail_v we_o think_v all_o be_v lose_v and_o god_n seldom_o go_v the_o way_n we_o have_v chalk_v out_o study_v you_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o but_o yet_o if_o positive_o you_o will_v know_v what_o way_n he_o do_v it_o i_o answer_v more_o particular_o very_o frequent_o by_o his_o own_o immediate_a hand_n without_o help_n the_o help_n of_o any_o other_o he_o alone_o tread_v out_o the_o winepress_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o people_n with_o he_o to_o help_v he_o but_o do_v all_o himself_o so_o my_o text_n say_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n the_o battle_n of_o the_o warrior_n etc._n etc._n if_o other_o nation_n conquer_v they_o do_v it_o by_o garment_n roll_v in_o blood_n and_o by_o confuse_a noise_n but_o this_o shall_v be_v by_o burn_v and_o by_o fuel_n of_o fire_n by_o god_n own_o hand_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o he_o ordinary_o do_v it_o by_o most_o unlikely_a and_o contemptible_a instrument_n mean_n he_o will_v not_o always_o work_v miracle_n that_o be_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n without_o any_o mean_n at_o all_o but_o in_o the_o deliverance_n of_o his_o church_n he_o always_o work_v miranda_fw-la marvelous_a thing_n by_o do_v it_o by_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v altogether_o improbable_a and_o unsuitable_a to_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o he_o this_o instance_n of_o my_o text_n be_v a_o most_o notable_a proof_n he_o will_v break_v every_o yoke_n of_o the_o oppressor_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o midian_a how_o be_v that_o you_o may_v read_v the_o story_n in_o the_o 17_o of_o judge_n the_o way_n be_v this_o there_o be_v such_o a_o numerous_a and_o mighty_a army_n of_o the_o midianite_n that_o the_o text_n say_v they_o lay_v like_o grasshopper_n and_o cover_v over_o all_o the_o country_n the_o lord_n mean_v to_o destroy_v they_o and_o gideon_n must_v go_v with_o 300_o man_n and_o these_o 300_o man_n must_v every_o one_o carry_v a_o pitcher_n and_o a_o lamp_n therein_o in_o one_o hand_n and_o a_o trumpet_n in_o another_o hand_n and_o compass_v in_o this_o mighty_a company_n every_o one_o at_o his_o post_n and_o blow_v with_o the_o trumpet_n and_o not_o strike_v a_o stroke_n but_o cry_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o gideon_n and_o this_o rout_n and_o destroy_v a_o invincible_a army_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o midian_a say_v the_o lord_n so_o will_v jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v by_o some_o unlikely_a mean_n and_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v confident_o that_o whosoever_o read_v the_o book_n of_o god_n from_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o will_v find_v that_o most_o of_o all_o the_o deliverance_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v his_o church_n have_v be_v by_o people_n that_o have_v be_v most_o unlike_o to_o do_v their_o business_n a_o shepherd_n shall_v bring_v israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n ram_n horn_n shall_v blow_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n a_o shepherd_n boy_n with_o a_o sling_n and_o a_o stone_n in_o it_o shall_v overthrow_v goliath_n the_o israelite_n like_o two_o little_a flock_n of_o kid_n shall_v overthrow_v the_o assyrian_n that_o fill_v all_o the_o country_n thus_o have_v the_o lord_n use_v to_o do_v it_o if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o manner_n of_o proceed_v as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o time_n when_o he_o do_v it_o himself_o it_o be_v because_o than_o he_o appear_v like_o himself_o the_o truth_n be_v let_v god_n do_v it_o by_o never_o such_o

the_o israelite_n with_o 400000._o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n god_n do_v no_o more_o in_o the_o one_o then_o in_o the_o other_o for_o it_o be_v god_n who_o work_v all_o in_o all_o but_o god_n do_v not_o so_o much_o appear_v for_o we_o that_o be_v thick_o sight_v can_v see_v what_o the_o creature_n do_v but_o we_o can_v see_v that_o this_o creature_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v all_o but_o now_o when_o the_o lord_n use_v mean_n which_o be_v altogether_o unlike_o to_o attain_v it_o and_o be_v whole_o unfit_a for_o the_o work_n then_o to_o do_v it_o all_o say_v this_o be_v digitus_fw-la dei_fw-la this_o be_v the_o lord_n do_n now_o the_o lord_n say_v when_o there_o be_v none_o to_o speak_v than_o his_o own_o arm_n do_v it_o that_o
