First of all: If you compare it with Power, Power clothed with Policy, or Policy clothed with Power: Faith will do more than all Policy and Power can do. And I pray turn unto 2 Chron. 13. where you shall see this clearly proved to you, verse 3. There is a great Battle fought; And Abijah set the Battle in Array, with an Army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the Battle in Array with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of Valour: Jeroboam had as many again, Abijah but four hundred thousand. Now if you look into verse 16. it is said the Children of Israel fled before Judah, and Abijah, and his People, slew them with a great slaughter, verse 17. So there fell down slain of Israel, five hundred thousand chosen men, such a slaughter as you shall not hear of: Abijah had but four hundred thousand men, and they slew five hundred thousand, Why? they had power enough, they were as many again: What was the matter, did they wane Policy? it is said verse 13. But Jeroboam caused an Ambushment to come about them; so they were before Judah, and the Ambushment was behind them: here was Power, and here was Policy, and yet this great Army is beaten with half the Company, and five hundred thousand slain: How comes this to pass? Indeed you read of the Children of Judah, That they cried unto the Lord, They cried unto the Lord, at verse 14. But if you will have the reason, look to verse 18. Thus the Children of Israel were brought under at that time; and the Children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the Lord God of their Fathers. See Faith can do more than all the Power and Policy in the World can do; true saving Faith can do more in reference to the Affairs of the World too: What Power is able to turn the Tide? if the Tide come in, and go out, you may bring in your Vessels with it, or send out your Vessels; who is able to turn the Tide? What power on Earth is able to turn the Tide? And what power of men can turn the power of Providence? or Policy of men, can turn the Tide of Providence? But Faith can do it, true saving Faith can turn the Tide, even of Providence; and therefore it can do greater things than all Power, the greatness of the World joined with Policy.
First of al: If you compare it with Power, Power cloathed with Policy, or Policy cloathed with Power: Faith wil do more than al Policy and Power can do. And I pray turn unto 2 Chron. 13. where you shal see this cleerly proved to you, verse 3. There is a great Battel fought; And Abijah set the Battel in Array, with an Army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the Battel in Array with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of Valor: Jeroboam had as many again, Abijah but four hundred thousand. Now if you look into verse 16. it is said the Children of Israel fled before Judah, and Abijah, and his People, slew them with a great slaughter, verse 17. So there fel down slain of Israel, five hundred thousand chosen men, such a slaughter as you shal not hear of: Abijah had but four hundred thousand men, and they slew five hundred thousand, Why? they had power enough, they were as many again: What was the matter, did they wane Policy? it is said verse 13. But Jeroboam caused an Ambushment to come about them; so they were before Judah, and the Ambushment was behind them: here was Power, and here was Policy, and yet this great Army is beaten with half the Company, and five hundred thousand slain: How comes this to pass? Indeed you read of the Children of Judah, That they cryed unto the Lord, They cried unto the Lord, at verse 14. But if you wil have the reason, look to verse 18. Thus the Children of Israel were brought under at that time; and the Children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the Lord God of their Fathers. See Faith can do more than al the Power and Policy in the World can do; true saving Faith can do more in reference to the Affairs of the World too: What Power is able to turn the Tide? if the Tide come in, and go out, you may bring in your Vessels with it, or send out your Vessels; who is able to turn the Tide? What power on Earth is able to turn the Tide? And what power of men can turn the power of Providence? or Policy of men, can turn the Tide of Providence? But Faith can do it, true saving Faith can turn the Tide, even of Providence; and therefore it can do greater things than al Power, the greatness of the World joyned with Policy.
