B04886	No power but of God, and yet a power in every creature, or, A word in season, to all men not void of grace, or deprived of reason wherein is held forth that the Almighty God is not wanting to us in impowering of us, but we are wanting to him, in not improving our talent for him ... / by Robert Purnel.

and_o deceive_v thou_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o whole_a world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o thou_o come_v into_o the_o city_n thou_o shall_v see_v it_o

unless_o here_o and_o there_o one_o in_o the_o city_n bond_n their_o force_n together_o against_o the_o lord_n christ_n kingly_a power_n i_o think_v i_o see_v now_o and_o then_o a_o sincere-hearted_n

he_o begi●●_n to_o say_v lord_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o great_a wickedness_n in_o the_o city_n and_o if_o he_o receive_v no_o answer_n from_o the_o lord_n he_o inquire_v for_o the_o

the_o citizen_n to_o he_o we_o have_v more_o temptation_n live_v in_o the_o city_n than_o you_o in_o the_o country_n well_o but_o the_o countryman_n be_v not_o full_o satisfy_v he_o go_v to_o
