it_o be_v not_o the_o only_a grace_n second_o there_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n within_o we_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o be_v right_o and_o true_o call_v grace_n of_o god_n the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o now_o of_o this_o of_o grace_n god_n do_v the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o in_o my_o text_n we_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n what_o be_v that_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n and_o against_o what_o against_o all_o affliction_n whatsoever_o this_o grace_n be_v s._n paul_n token_n 2_o thes_n 3._o this_o be_v the_o most_o precious_a jewel_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n this_o stir_v up_o to_o good_a and_o restrain_v from_o evil_a this_o keep_v from_o pride_n in_o prosperity_n and_o support_v in_o affliction_n this_o make_v all_o our_o weak_a endeavour_n acceptable_a with_o god_n and_o without_o this_o all_o our_o best_a action_n be_v but_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v but_o vanity_n it_o be_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o world_n the_o grace_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o one_o poor_a little_a fit_a of_o a_o ague_n and_o when_o a_o man_n lie_v upon_o his_o deathbed_n and_o satan_n begin_v to_o tempt_v and_o his_o conscience_n begin_v to_o trouble_v then_o what_o good_a will_v all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o world_n do_v a_o man_n but_o by_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o be_v equal_a to_o the_o angel_n but_o without_o this_o grace_n we_o be_v worse_o than_o toad_n of_o serpent_n nay_o worse_o than_o the_o very_a devil_n of_o hell_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v for_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o no_o man_n nor_o creature_n nor_o devil_n can_v take_v away_o but_o it_o continue_v for_o ever_o who_o god_n love_v he_o love_v to_o the_o end_n the_o second_o divine_a aid_n god_n give_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o quantity_n of_o this_o grace_n my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o sufficient_a it_o walk_v between_o two_o extreme_n abundance_n and_o want_n and_o where_o there_o be_v sufficient_a there_o be_v neither_o too_o much_o nor_o too_o little_a and_o here_o we_o may_v admire_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n he_o be_v a_o free_a agent_n the_o sun_n shine_v according_a to_o his_o natural_a ability_n but_o god_n give_v every_o one_o grace_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v that_o according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o own_o will_n for_o god_n be_v a_o ever-flowing_a fountain_n a_o ocean_n of_o grace_n there_o be_v grace_n enough_o for_o you_o and_o i_o and_o for_o as_o many_o world_n as_o god_n can_v make_v wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o murmur_v against_o god_n because_o we_o have_v not_o that_o abundance_n of_o grace_n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o have_v have_v they_o have_v the_o shower_n of_o grace_n we_o will_v be_v content_a with_o the_o dew_n of_o grace_n they_o have_v the_o full_a sheaf_n but_o we_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o the_o glean_n they_o have_v their_o full_a banquet_n but_o we_o shall_v think_v ourselves_o happy_a if_o we_o can_v have_v but_o the_o crumb_n and_o if_o we_o have_v grace_n we_o shall_v have_v glory_n for_o it_o be_v with_o grace_n as_o with_o manna_n he_o that_o gather_v much_o have_v not_o over_o and_o he_o that_o gather_v little_a have_v no_o lack_n and_o so_o every_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a as_o it_o be_v effectual_a and_o this_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o not_o from_o man_n free_a will_n he_o do_v not_o say_v my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a with_o thou_o but_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o part_v stake_n between_o god_n grace_n and_o man_n free_a will_n for_o it_o be_v he_o alone_o that_o give_v we_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n ephes_n 2._o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v covetous_a give_v i_o this_o sufficiency_n from_o grace_n for_o if_o we_o have_v grace_n enough_o we_o have_v enough_o give_v i_o the_o man_n that_o can_v true_o say_v he_o have_v enough_o he_o say_v when_o he_o have_v a_o house_n oh_o that_o i_o have_v a_o little_a land_n and_o so_o as_o the_o world_n grow_v upon_o he_o his_o desire_n grow_v upon_o the_o world_n so_o that_o every_o year_n nay_o every_o day_n every_o hour_n he_o think_v of_o another_o enough_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v grace_n enough_o he_o have_v all_o enough_o this_o make_v a_o penny_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o beg_v as_o a_o shilling_n a_o prison_n as_o a_o country_n and_o this_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a against_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o against_o all_o affliction_n and_o although_o god_n can_v keep_v we_o from_o affliction_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o conflict_n there_o will_v be_v no_o victory_n but_o in_o the_o end_n grace_n have_v always_o the_o upper_a hand_n and_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n be_v not_o then_o dismay_v o_o christian_n soul_n whoever_o thou_o be_v under_o some_o heavy_a affliction_n what_o will_v thou_o be_v better_a than_o paul_n behold_v the_o apostle_n suffer_v and_o despair_v not_o nay_o behold_v christ_n himself_o be_v tempt_v and_o afflict_v that_o he_o may_v succour_v we_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v and_o afflict_v oh_o then_o behold_v christ_n with_o a_o sure_a comfort_n and_o a_o lively_a faith_n and_o he_o will_v succour_v we_o in_o all_o our_o afflion_n that_o neither_o flesh_n world_n nor_o devil_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n finis_fw-la
