Faith sets the Power of Christ against the power of lust: the strength of Christ against the strength of corruption; who is able to subdue all things unto himself, and to conquer the most untamed corruptions.
7. Strong Faith will overcome strong Temptations. Temptations from the World, Temptations from Satan. Strong Faith subdues, where weak Faith is blown down with every blast of Temptation, not being able to stand out against the assaults of Satan.
Strong Faith overcomes the allurements and threats of the World: it overcomes all. This is our victory, whereby we overcome the World, even our Faith.
Strong Faith overcomes the allurements and threats of the World: it overcomes all. This is our victory, whereby wee overcome the World, even our Faith.
8. Strong Faith overcomes strong doubts; answers strong Objections in the soul. Such doubts and objections move not them, that are ready to overwhelm a weak Faith. It will fly away with such twigs as will hinder the flight of weaker Christians.
