Now besides this, that God giveth unto us matter whereof to speak freely, yet must that come from him, as we hear, that our Lord Jesus Christ hath spoken off: that it is the holy Ghost which guideth our tongues, that it cometh not of ourselves, to be able to answer our enemies that there needed but a small gale of wind to overthrow us. So then, it is meet that God should use his power that ⟨p. 52⟩we might be confirmed by him: For when as he shall put his word in our mouth, we may speak before Kings and Princes, and never be ashamed. As if he should have said, O Lord, thy word ought to be of such power unto us, as that we may foil our enemies, yea how great and mighty soever they be: albeit they should be such as were able to astonish and fear all the whole world, yet let our Faith be overthrown, through their mightiness, and pomp: knowing that when as they shall think too swallow all up, yet that we be left still always as Conquerors, yea even because we have regard to it.
Nowe besides this, that God giueth vntoo vs matter whereof to speake freely, yet must that come from him, as we heare, that our Lord Iesus Christe hath spoken off: that it is the holy Ghoste which guideth our tongues, that it cōmeth not of ourselues, to be able to answere our enemies that there neded but a small gale of wind to ouerthrow vs. So then, it is meete that God shoulde vse his power that ⟨p. 52⟩we might be confirmed by him: For when as he shal put his woorde in our mouth, we may speake before Kinges and Princes, and neuer be ashamed. As if he should haue sayde, O Lorde, thy woorde ought to be of such power vnto vs, as that wee may foyle our enenemyes, yea howe greate and mightie soeuer they bee: albeit they should bee suche as were able to astonish and feare all the whole world, yet let our Fayth be ouerthrowne, through their mightinesse, and pompe: knowing that when as they shall thinke too swallowe all vp, yet that we be left stil alwayes as Conquerors, yea euen because we haue regarde to it.
