apostle_n language_n to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o all_o relation_n in_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o condition_n and_o circumstance_n of_o life_n the_o second_o suppose_n that_o

we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v be_v now_o at_o work_n to_o confound_v we_o and_o our_o religion_n the_o reformation_n of_o which_o be_v little_o less_o wonderful_a in_o one_o regard_n than_o the_o first_o publication_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o fly_v like_o lightning_n and_o on_o a_o sudden_a all_o these_o northern_a country_n purge_v themselves_o from_o the_o romish_a pollution_n with_o a_o marvellous_a consent_n as_o swift_o and_o in_o as_o short_a a_o space_n of_o time_n as_o the_o gospel_n at_o its_o first_o preach_v run_v among_o the_o gentile_n and_o excite_v they_o to_o free_v themselves_o from_o pagan_a idolatry_n and_o immediate_o the_o devil_n set_v his_o agent_n at_o work_n to_o disgrace_v and_o spoil_v the_o reformation_n by_o sect_n and_o heresy_n and_o to_o deter_v

though_o by_o the_o merciful_a providence_n of_o god_n that_o trial_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v prevent_v for_o which_o we_o humble_o pray_v and_o hope_v to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v as_o well_o as_o to_o suffer_v all_o thing_n that_o will_v hinder_v our_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o say_v to_o which_o of_o these_o my_o text_n most_o relate_v whether_o to_o the_o word_n

which_o he_o tell_v the_o ephesian_n in_o the_o verse_n follow_v will_v discourage_v and_o dishearten_v they_o in_o their_o obedience_n now_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v furnish_v with_o a_o sufficient_a strength_n for_o both_o i_o shall_v do_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o show_v you_o wherein_o this_o duty_n consist_v of_o be_v strong_a or_o strengthen_v ourselves_o in_o the_o

of_o these_o by_o the_o lord_n be_v mean_v as_o i_o say_v our_o bless_a saviour_n who_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o be_v raise_v again_o and_o make_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o all_o power_n

these_o three_o thing_n 1._o first_o to_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o lively_a faith_n of_o the_o power_n and_o glory_n which_o our_o lord_n now_o have_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n 2._o second_o to_o keep_v this_o faith_n alive_a in_o our_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v make_v we_o on_o all_o occasion_n repair_v to_o he_o represent_v he_o always_o as_o actual_o present_a to_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n to_o aid_v and_o succour_v we_o 3._o three_o in_o this_o faith_n to_o be_v steadfast_o resolve_v to_o stick_v to_o he_o and_o not_o to_o stir_v from_o the_o duty_n he_o enjoin_v we_o notwithstanding_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v oppose_v we_o to_o discourage_v nay_o endanger_v we_o in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o of_o these_o we_o have_v such_o frequent_a occasion_n to_o treat_v at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a now_o only_o to_o repeat_v they_o 1._o we_o must_v represent_v the_o majesty_n and_o power_n wherein_o our_o lord_n reign_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n so_o strong_o to_o our_o soul_n that_o they_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o pregnant_a and_o lively_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o be_v dispose_v thereby_o to_o depend_v upon_o he_o continual_o as_o a_o almighty_a saviour_n 2._o and_o then_o this_o faith_n when_o it_o be_v settle_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v actuate_v and_o excite_v that_o it_o may_v make_v we_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o present_v with_o we_o at_o all_o time_n by_o his_o almighty_a power_n to_o aid_v and_o assist_v we_o to_o support_v and_o comfort_v we_o as_o well_o as_o able_a at_o last_o eternal_o to_o reward_v we_o 3._o and_o last_o this_o faith_n must_v settle_v in_o we_o a_o firm_a resolution_n and_o purpose_n to_o adhere_v to_o his_o service_n and_o resist_v all_o temptation_n to_o the_o contrary_a till_o by_o his_o power_n we_o overcome_v they_o and_o remain_v faithful_a to_o the_o very_a death_n expect_v from_o he_o the_o crown_n of_o life_n this_o he_o expect_v from_o we_o and_o this_o we_o must_v charge_v ourselves_o withal_o and_o be_v faithful_a to_o it_o and_o steadfast_a in_o it_o for_o if_o we_o doubt_v not_o of_o his_o power_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o depend_v upon_o it_o and_o by_o the_o force_n of_o it_o do_v that_o for_o which_o he_o communicate_v it_o unto_o we_o have_v he_o not_o make_v we_o many_o precious_a promise_n that_o by_o they_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o a_o divine_a nature_n have_v he_o not_o say_v he_o will_v be_v
