The point hence to be noted is this, that
The power of God whereunto we are to trust, 1is a most mighty and strong power, a power able to protect us against the might of all adverse power whatsoever. In this respect the Apostle calleth Gods power,b an exceeding greatness of power. He searcheth after rare and high phrases to set forth this power of God,3 because of the infinite greatness thereof, which cannot by ordinary and usual phrases be expressed.
