Even then, I say, even then, contrary to all mans reason, God brought all these things to pass. Even then God defeated their policies, not with shield or Spear, but only with the spirit of his mouth, that is with preaching of the ⟨image 106⟩Gospel. There is no counsel against the Lord, the devils were cast out by the power of God.

This is the day which the Lord hath wrought: to thee o Lord, the praise hereof is due: thou hast turned our mourning into joy: thou hast put to silence the spirit of error: thou hast inflamed yt hearts of thy people: thou hast brought princes & kings to the obedience of thy Son Jesus Christ: thou hast opened the eyes of the world to espy out, & to cry for the comfort of the gospel. When all things were in despair, yet thou didst reserve unto thy self one little sparkle, that should enkindle again light in thy church, that should remove rubbish & filth out of thy temple, whose hart should ever be in thy hand, who should do that that good is in thy sight, & should walk in y• ways of her father David.
