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

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

it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n she_o do_v why_o because_o she_o do_v it_o by_o faith_n and_o so_o the_o woman_n of_o sarepta_n when_o the_o prophet_n say_v give_v i_o a_o cake_n first_o it_o be_v no_o
