For, it is not man, but God that speaketh, as Christ telleth the Apostles, It is not ye that 1speak, but the spirit of your father, which speaketh in you. So saith the Prophet Zechariah, 2He spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets, which have been since the world began. The Prophets, and Apostles, and holy men of God were but instruments. It was God which gave his holy spirit, which gave them tongues to speak, and words to utter. Therefore said Christ, I will give you a mouth, ⟨image 177⟩3and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak, nor resist. Though men be but simple, yet the word they deliver, is mighty: though they be mortal, the word of the Lord endureth for ever.
