3. By a strong hand it is that mortal sinful men are brought to do Gods will.1 With men it is impossible. To him therefore whose ⟨p. 319⟩the power is, it is requisite thus to pray, Thy will be done on earth.
4. All our necessities cannot be supplied but by a divine power.1 A King was forced to say, If the Lord help thee not, whence shall I help thee? out of the barn-floor, or out of the wine-press? 2But God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
