The divine life in three treatises

2. Trust also in God as one that is assured, that no Enemy is too strong for the Almighty▪ Alas, what is an Army of Dust to Omnipotency? If the Lord do but arise, his Enemies will be scattered, and they that hate him will flee before him; as smoke is driven away, and as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of the Lord, Psal. 68. 1, 2.] while the Lord of Hosts is for us, we need not fear if hosts come against us; As worst they can but Kill our bodies; And Greater is he that is in us, then he that is in the world, 1 Joh. 4. 4.] Oh what a match have the miserable Enemies of the Church? what a work do they undertake? what a desperate attempt do they enterprise? to strive against Heaven, and overcome Omnipotency?

If the Lord do but arise, his Enemies will be scattered, and they that hate him will flee before him; as smoak is driven away, and as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of the Lord, Psal. 68. 1, 2.] while the Lord of Hosts is for us, we need not fear if hosts come against us; As worst they can but Kill our bodies; And Greater is he that is in us, then he that is in the world, 1 Joh. 4. 4.] Oh what a match have the miserable Enemies of the Church? what a work do they undertake? what a desperate attempt do they enterprise? to strive against Heaven, and overcome Omnipotency?

3. Trust in the Lord, as one that believeth that no Means or Instruments are too small or weak for Almightiness successfully to use. No matter who the Instrument be, how mean, and weak, and despicable, if it be but an Almighty hand that uses it. A few poor fishermen and despised people shall pull down Satan's Kingdom in the world, and conquer the greatest, and bring in the Nations to the faith if Omnipotency be with them.
