he_o be_v lord_n of_o day_n he_o be_v lord_n of_o good_n and_o life_n he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o dispense_v here_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o take_n away_o the_o egyptian_n jewel_n and_o the_o

all_o the_o time_n to_o give_v a_o little_o further_a light_n to_o that_o i_o touch_v before_o you_o will_v ask_v why_o god_n use_v quest._n mean_n and_o do_v not_o work_v immediate_o why_o he_o do_v not_o cast_v down_o these_o wall_n by_o his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n beside_o that_o i_o say_v before_o god_n use_v second_o answ._n cause_n not_o for_o defect_n of_o power_n but_o for_o

which_o he_o use_v to_o effect_v those_o thing_n that_o he_o can_v do_v himself_o if_o it_o please_v he_o therefore_o let_v such_o question_n cease_v it_o please_v god_n so_o to_o do_v the_o last_o point_n be_v this_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n that_o the_o mean_n wall_n of_o jericho_n fall_v down_o if_o they_o have_v not_o depend_v upon_o god_n in_o their_o go_v about_o seven_o day_n the_o wall_n have_v stand_v still_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n they_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a faith_n that_o use_v such_o a_o ridiculous_a stratagem_n as_o this_o to_o go_v about_o the_o wall_n with_o rams-horne_n they_o shall_v think_v the_o wall_n will_v fall_v it_o may_v shake_v their_o faith_n and_o likewise_o expose_v they_o to_o the_o scorn_n of_o those_o of_o

captain_n and_o some_o other_o of_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o all_o of_o they_o have_v hope_n of_o the_o best_a it_o be_v faith_n that_o believe_v this_o in_o this_o unlikelihood_n of_o second_o cause_n for_o there_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o faith_n when_o second_o cause_n be_v weak_a than_o faith_n be_v strong_a abraham_n faith_n be_v the_o strong_a by_o reason_n there_o be_v more_o

it_o be_v say_v by_o saint_n paul_n rom._n 4._o he_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n give_v glory_n to_o god_n strong_a faith_n give_v glory_n to_o god_n so_o here_o 4._o be_v a_o strong_a faith_n because_o the_o mean_n be_v weak_a or_o none_o at_o all_o for_o these_o mean_n have_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o to_o work_v such_o a_o glorious_a effect_n as_o this_o that_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o

be_v the_o grace_n whereby_o they_o go_v out_o of_o themselves_o and_o deny_v themselves_o and_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n in_o accomplish_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o word_n and_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o justice_n so_o god_n do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v by_o faith_n because_o as_o i_o say_v god_n honour_v faith_n thus_o much_o what_o strength_n god_n and_o christ_n

of_o god_n hereupon_o it_o come_v to_o be_v so_o victorious_a &_o conquer_a a_o grace_n as_o it_o be_v because_o it_o carry_v we_o to_o that_o that_o do_v all_o by_o faith_n they_o do_v this_o but_o here_o be_v other_o grace_n likewise_o that_o name_v spring_v from_o faith_n that_o help_v they_o also_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o patience_n to_o go_v about_o after_o that_o silly_a fashion_n with_o rams-horne_n seven_o day_n together_o here_o be_v patience_n and_o perseverance_n and_o hope_v but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o because_o faith_n do_v enliven_v all_o other_o grace_n it_o give_v life_n to_o all_o and_o stir_v up_o all_o therefore_o that_o be_v name_v in_o the_o whole_a chapter_n the_o exercise_n of_o other_o grace_n be_v attribute_v to_o faith_n because_o they_o
