What is our impediments be Moun•s, faith is able to remove them; Who 1•hou O Mountain (saith the Propped.) What a world of impediments 2•t there betwixt Egypt and the land […] Canaan, betwixt the return out of ⟨p. 390⟩Babylon and Jerusalem, yet faith removed all, by looking to Gods power and truth in his promise. The looking too much to the Anakims and Grants, and too little to Gods omnipotency, s• the Israelites out of Canaan, and p• God to his oath, that they should never enter into his rest, and it will exclude o• 3souls from happiness at length, if looking too much upon these Anakims within us and without us, we basely despair and give over the field, considering all our enemies are not only conquered for us by our Head, but shall be conquered in us, so that in strength of assistance we fight against them. God gave the Israelites enemies into their hands, but yet they must fight it o•r, and what coward will not fight wh• he is sure of help and victory.
