Why Gods powerful work is necessary,1 hath been showed before on vers. 10. namely, because of our own⟨p. 30⟩ utter inability to do any thing of our selves.d Before God quickeneth us, we are dead in sins, no more able to do any spiritual function, then a dead corpse to do any natural function: yea, after we are quickened, we are estill supported by Gods grace, which worketh in us: yet being quickened we must do our endeavour, because of that order which the Lord hath in wisdom appointed to bring us to glory.
