What is the ground of Popish Idolatries and abominations,1 they conceive not aright of ⟨p. 48⟩the fullness of Christ, wherefore he was ordained, and sent of God: for if they did, they would not go to Idols and Saints, and leave Christ. Therefore let us make this use of it, go out of Christ for nothing: If we want favour, go not to Saints, if we want instruction go not to traditions of men, he is a Prophet wise enough, and a Priest full enough to make us accepted of God, if we want any grace, he is a King able enough, rich enough, and strong enough to subdue all our rebellions in us, and he will in time by his Spirit overcome all, Stronger is he that is in us then he that is in the world. The spirit in the world, the Devil and devilish minded men they are not so strong as the Spirit of Christ: For by little and little the Spirit of Christ will subdue all. Christ is a King, go not out of him therefore for any thing. Babes keep your selves from Idols, you may well enough, you know whom to go too.

The spirit in the world, the Divell and divellish minded men they are not so strong as the Spirit of Christ: For by little and little the Spirit of Christ will subdue all. Christ is a King, goe not out of him therefore for any thing. Babes keepe your selves from Idols, you may well enough, you know whom to goe too.
