Oh no; but that which that faith lays hold 1on doth, that faith is said to do: God honours the grace of faith, by terming that to be 2done by it, that he doth himself; for it was the power of God, the goodness of God to ⟨p. 72⟩them, and the justice of God (against the sins of these people) that overturned the walls of Jericho, faith it was, but an empty hand to lay hold upon this power; it was the grace, whereby they went out of themselves, and denied themselves, and gave glory to God, in accomplishing the truth of his word, and his wisdom, and power, and justice. So God did it, but it is said to be done by faith; because as I said, God honours faith thus much. What strength God and Christ hath, when faith la•es hold on them, faith hath that strength: because it builds upon them, faith sets a man upon God and Christ, and upon the truth of God: Hereupon it comes to be so victorious, & conquering a grace as it is, because it caries us to that that doth all, by faith they did this.
