therefore_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v neither_o sun_n nor_o moon_n now_o what_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o excellency_n in_o any_o creature_n that_o be_v magnify_v there_o but_o

glorious_a creature_n when_o the_o evil_a angel_n begin_v to_o reflect_v upon_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o ruin_n they_o fall_v from_o god_n for_o the_o creature_n of_o itself_o be_v like_o a_o

down_o to_o the_o low_a pit_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o grace_n labour_n for_o empty_v grace_n as_o faith_n and_o love_n for_o these_o give_v all_o unto_o god_n nothing_o to_o man_n self_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v the_o great_a grace_n in_o religion_n which_o you_o must_v chief_o labour_v for_o second_o from_o that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o godliness_n if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o powerful_a thing_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o 2._o be_v than_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o comfort_v we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o it_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v in_o truth_n there_o it_o be_v in_o

godliness_n thou_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o overcome_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o power_n when_o god_n come_v to_o dwell_v in_o any_o man_n heart_n he_o send_v godliness_n into_o it_o which_o rule_v in_o it_o as_o a_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n think_v therefore_o of_o it_o as_o of_o monarch_n as_o alexander_n be_v or_o those_o which_o daniel_n speak_v of_o it_o carry_v all_o before_o it_o it_o bring_v every_o thought_n into_o subjection_n and_o therefore_o also_o the_o spirit_n be_v call_v a_o spirit_n of_o power_n and_o if_o you_o have_v godliness_n it_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o be_v accompany_v with_o power_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o of_o power_n and_o so_o stephen_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o grace_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o powerful_a thing_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o godliness_n have_v power_n be_v because_o god_n have_v put_v virtue_n into_o it_o as_o when_o you_o see_v such_o and_o such_o a_o herb_n have_v such_o a_o virtue_n in_o it_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v endue_v it_o with_o such_o a_o power_n and_o so_o have_v he_o do_v with_o godliness_n if_o therefore_o thou_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o religion_n set_v on_o it_o have_v thou_o any_o lust_n to_o overcome_v set_v on_o it_o and_o let_v i_o speak_v to_o thou_o as_o he_o speak_v to_o gideon_n go_v on_o thou_o valiant_a man_n in_o the_o might_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o people_n of_o israel_n travel_v to_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n see_v the_o city_n wall_v to_o heaven_n and_o that_o the_o giant_n be_v there_o the_o son_n of_o anak_n yet_o joshua_n bid_v they_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n and_o fear_v not_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v fight_v for_o they_o and_o deliver_v their_o adversary_n into_o their_o hand_n so_o though_o you_o see_v difficulty_n in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n yet_o godliness_n be_v a_o powerful_a thing_n that_o will_v carry_v you_o through_o all_o therefore_o likewise_o the_o apostle_n have_v pray_v for_o the_o
