1And as he will overcome for his Church, so he will overcome in his Church;2 stronger is he that is in the Church in you, then he that is in the World; and Gods children will be triumphant: though they may be discouraged, in respect of the present carriage of things; yet the Spirit that is in them, above the World, will gather strength by little and little and it will appear at length, notwithstanding present discouragements: undoubtedly the best things will have a true lustre and glory at length, how-ever they seem to be carried for the present: You see as Christ hath justified himself to be the true Messiah, and as he hath justified himself, so he will justify all his; there is the same reason for both.
