be_v to_o expect_v help_n from_o god_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n be_v to_o rely_v or_o rest_n upon_o god_n for_o help_n and_o to_o wait_v on_o he_o be_v to_o continue_v and_o abide_v in_o this_o expectation_n or_o reliance_n proper_o according_a to_o scripture_n phrase_n trust_v in_o god_n be_v the_o recumbency_n or_o the_o reliance_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o some_o good_a thing_n that_o lie_v out_o of_o sight_n i_o say_v first_o it_o be_v the_o recumbency_n or_o reliance_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o god_n the_o stay_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o god_n so_o you_o read_v in_o isa_n 26.3_o thou_o will_v keep_v he_o in_o perfect_a peace_n who_o mind_n be_v stay_v on_o thou_o because_o he_o trust_v in_o thou_o so_o the_o spouse_n in_o the_o canticle_n be_v find_v lean_v upon_o her_o belove_a and_o so_o we_o be_v command_v to_o trust_v not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d only_o but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d on_o he_o that_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o

stayance_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v mean_v here_o for_o the_o word_n here_o translate_v god_n hope_v or_o trust_v in_o god_n
in_o its_o own_o bow_n and_o it_o will_v do_v great_a thing_n than_o gospel_n gift_n and_o part_n and_o common_a grace_n sure_o then_o true_a save_a faith_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n but_o than_o three_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o true_a save_a faith_n can_v do_v such_o great_a thing_n answ_n 1_o faith_n go_v forth_o in_o the_o might_n of_o god_n power_n the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o say_v our_o saviour_n if_o thou_o can_v believe_v all_o thing_n be_v possible_a and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n of_o his_o almighty_a power_n be_v ascribe_v to_o faith_n both_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n aâ—d_v in_o the_o new_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o great_a

give_v to_o faith_n the_o great_a victory_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n give_v to_o faith_n and_o the_o great_a miraculous_a cure_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n give_v to_o faith_n and_o will_v you_o know_v the_o reason_n god_n will_v ascribe_v much_o to_o that_o grace_n that_o ascribe_v much_o to_o he_o and_o set_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o that_o grace_n that_o set_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o his_o son_n now_o the_o more_o that_o any_o man_n can_v wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o low_a and_o mean_v and_o poor_a and_o no_o mean_n the_o more_o he_o do_v ascribe_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o his_o power_n it_o be_v say_v by_o faith_n the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n fall_v down_o do_v faith_n pull_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n no_o but_o it_o be_v the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o pull_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n but_o this_o be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v by_o faith_n why_o because_o they_o do_v wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o ram_n horn_n and_o when_o a_o man_n can_v wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o ram_n horn_n than_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n as_o faith_n go_v forth_o in_o the_o might_n of_o

forth_o in_o the_o may_v of_o god_n call_n as_o faith_n go_v forth_o in_o the_o may_v of_o god_n call_v so_o it_o do_v go_v forth_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o what_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o the_o soul_n i_o know_v faith_n and_o sense_n and_o feel_v differ_v but_o i_o say_v faith_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o what_o the_o father_n have_v do_v and_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o poor_a sinner_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o what_o great_a thing_n god_n have_v do_v and_o christ_n have_v do_v then_o say_v a_o man_n shall_v god_n do_v such_o great_a thing_n

and_o thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o faith_n will_v do_v very_o great_a thing_n and_o thus_o now_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n i_o come_v to_o the_o application_n applic._n 1_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a true_a save_a faith_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n and_o very_o great_a thing_n then_o we_o may_v here_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n do_v no_o great_a
