Let us speak confidently with the Leper Matth. 8. LORD, if thou wilt thou canst make me clean. After the wisdom of heaven had abridged all our necessities into six petitions; he binds up our faith with a reason, and bids us wait confidently, for the blessings craved heartily; For (or because) thine is the kingdom, the Power, and (to thee be) the glory for ever. 4. This comforts us against all oppositions, even those Principalities that wrestle against us; the assurance of this divine power. Non timeat Inimicum fortem, qui amicum habet fortiorem. Let not him fear a strong enemy against him, that hath a stronger friend with him. If God be on our side who can be against us? Let their force and malice strive which shall be greater, we shall overcome them alls by the blood of the Lamb.
