As Faith doth go forth in the strength or the Promise, so Faith doth go forth in the strength of Gods Call: there is much might in Gods Call, Faith goes forth in the strength, and might of Gods Call. Read what the Lord said to Gideon, in Judges, 6.14. And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: what might was this? Go in this thy Might, have not I sent thee? ⟨p. 11⟩here is the Might; Go in this thy Might: what Might? the Might of my Call. Gods Call is a Might, and when a Man doth go forth in the Might of Gods Call, he goes forth in a mighty strength; Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Call.

As Faith doth go forth in the strength or the Promise, so Faith doth go forth in the strength of Gods Cal: there is much might in Gods Cal, Faith goes forth in the strength, and might of Gods Call. Read what the Lord said to Gideon, in Judges, 6.14. And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: what might was this? Go in this thy Might, have not I sent thee? ⟨p. 11⟩here is the Might; Go in this thy Might: what Might? the Might of my Call. Gods Cal is a Might, and when a Man doth go forth in the Might of Gods Call, he goes forth in a mighty strength; Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Call.

As Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Call, so it doth go forth in the Sense of what God and Christ hath done for the Soul; I know Faith, and Sense, and Feeling differ; but I say, Faith is very sensible of what the Father hath done, and what Christ hath done for poor sinners; and when a man is very sensible of what great things God hath done, and Christ hath done, then saith a man, Shall God do such great things for me? and shall Christ do such great things for me? and shall not I do great things again for God and Christ? Faith is very sensible of what God and Christ hath done for sinners. And thus Faith makes a man do great things for God, Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Power, Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Promise, Faith goes forth in the Might of Gods Call, and Faith goes forth in the Sense of what God and Christ hath done for the Soul. And thus it comes to pass that Faith will do very great things. And thus now I have done with the Doctrinal Part; I come to the Application.
