dispute_v of_o that_o for_o from_o this_o that_o they_o have_v already_o unadvised_o enter_v into_o these_o battle_n be_v they_o become_v that_o which_o they_o be_v let_v we_o leave_v they_o

in_o case_n of_o public_a proceed_n there_o be_v scarce_o room_n for_o it_o private_a man_n may_v pass_v over_o offence_n at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o may_v be_v in_o not_o do_v it_o they_o do_v

to_o alcibiades_n if_o you_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_v none_o of_o these_o why_o shall_v you_o fear_v they_o all_o since_o that_o of_o such_o as_o these_o the_o whole_a knot_n of_o they_o consist_v but_o i_o must_v proceed_v to_o search_v out_o yet_o another_o meaning_n of_o this_o word_n of_o do_v in_o my_o text_n and_o that_o brief_o three_o therefore_o we_o may_v take_v this_o word_n of_o do_v in_o its_o large_a sense_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v mean_v literal_o that_o indeed_o a_o christian_a can_v do_v all_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o power_n and_o command_v over_o the_o creature_n as_o that_o he_o can_v do_v with_o it_o what_o he_o list_v in_o which_o sense_n it_o be_v likewise_o true_a though_o with_o some_o limitation_n and_o here_o be_v the_o three_o degree_n of_o our_o christian_a omnipotency_n in_o the_o former_a part_n the_o omnipotence_n of_o a_o christian_a suffer_v no_o restraint_n it_o be_v illimited_a unconfined_a he_o be_v absolute_o omnipotent_a in_o his_o patience_n and_o can_v suffer_v all_o thing_n he_o be_v likewise_o absolute_o omnipotent_a in_o battle_n and_o can_v conquer_v all_o his_o enemy_n but_o in_o this_o three_o signification_n his_o power_n seem_v to_o be_v straighten_v for_o how_o many_o thing_n be_v there_o which_o no_o christian_a man_n can_v do_v yet_o be_v he_o so_o straighten_v as_o that_o his_o omnipotency_n suffer_v not_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o school_n though_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a yet_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v name_v which_o he_o can_v do_v he_o can_v deny_v himself_o he_o can_v lie_v he_o can_v sin_v he_o can_v die_v yet_o may_v we_o not_o conclude_v that_o therefore_o god_n be_v not_o omnipotent_a for_o therefore_o be_v he_o the_o more_o omnipotent_a because_o he_o can_v do_v these_o thing_n for_o ability_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n be_v imperfection_n and_o weakness_n but_o in_o god_n we_o must_v conceive_v nothing_o but_o what_o argue_v perfection_n and_o strength_n in_o some_o degree_n we_o may_v apply_v this_o unto_o ourselves_o in_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o christian_a perfection_n every_o christian_n be_v omnipotent_a he_o can_v raise_v the_o dead_a turn_v water_n into_o wine_n speak_v with_o tongue_n true_o but_o if_o he_o can_v have_v he_o for_o this_o any_o further_a degree_n of_o perfection_n above_o other_o christian_n our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o deny_v it_o for_o many_o say_v he_o at_o that_o day_n shall_v come_v and_o say_v have_v we_o not_o cast_v out_o devil_n and_o wrought_v miracle_n in_o thy_o name_n and_o he_o will_v answer_v they_o away_o i_o know_v you_o not_o belove_a our_o saviour_n love_v not_o to_o sleight_v any_o part_n of_o christian_a perfection_n yet_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o deny_v unto_o a_o christian_n the_o power_n of_o do_v miracle_n for_o every_o christian_n man_n do_v every_o day_n great_a miracle_n than_o yet_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o but_o belove_v in_o this_o matter_n of_o miracle_n we_o do_v much_o abuse_v ourselves_o for_o why_o seem_v it_o unto_o we_o a_o great_a miracle_n that_o our_o saviour_n once_o turn_v a_o little_a water_n into_o wine_n than_o every_o year_n

to_o feed_v five_o thousand_o with_o five_o loaf_n then_o every_o year_n to_o feed_v the_o whole_a world_n by_o the_o strange_a multiplication_n of_o a_o few_o seed_n cast_v into_o the_o ground_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n do_v we_o by_o the_o daily_a action_n of_o christian_n man_n for_o why_o be_v it_o a_o great_a miracle_n to_o raise_v the_o dead_a then_o for_o every_o man_n to_o raise_v himself_o from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n why_o seem_v it_o more_o miraculous_a to_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v blind_a then_o for_o every_o

of_o god_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n wrought_v these_o miracle_n do_v every_o christian_n man_n do_v this_o and_o without_o this_o finger_n it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o do_v this_o as_o for_o the_o apostle_n to_o do_v the_o miracle_n they_o do_v without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a power_n of_o christ._n so_o that_o hitherto_o in_o nothing_o be_v we_o find_v
