In the 4. Col. 20. we have this phrase, Be filled with all the will of God. 1It is a ⟨p. 9⟩Metaphor taken from a Sail filled with wind: if the Sail have no wind, the Ship stands still and is becalmed: but if the wind once come, and fill the Sails, then is it carried amain. Gods command to the soul, should be like the wind to the sails: if no command from above, a Christian should stand still, as a ship becalmed; but if a command come, we should be carried amain. Go with courage, be the difficulties what they will; Have not I commanded thee? will bear us out in all.
