4 And the force & profit which we reap by the spiritual kingdom of Christ,¹ consisteth in two things: first, that we may know him to reign rather for our sakes then for his own, and that both within and without, namely, that being replenished so far as is expedient with the gifts of the spirit, whereof we are empty naturally, we may perceive §2by the first fruits, that we are truly joined to God to perfect blessedness. Secondly, that trusting to the power of the same spirit, we may not doubt ⟨p. 125⟩that we shall always have the victory against the Devil the world, and all manner hurtful thing.
