Thirdly, his spirit converteth mens souls, and begetteth them to everlasting life, and so §3they become stones of this building, for were not the word made mighty and effectual by him, Satan would keep his hold against the preachers, and proud hearts would never be brought into subjection. 2. Cor. 10. 4. 5.
