Applic. 2 If this Doctrine be true, In case Christians, that you have any great work to do, call in for Faith, call in for Faith. In case ye have a great outward employment, you will send to the most skilful man in that Faculty: If it be to build a House, or go to Law, you will call in for the most skilful Agent. True saving Faith is a great Agent, a great Worker; and therefore if you have any great work to do, call in Faith, look to your Faith. It is said of Mr. ⟨p. 13⟩Tyndall in the Story of his Life, there being a Conjurer in the Low Countries, where he lived, that would undertake to fetch a Dish of Meat off any Princes Table, and make a great Dinner for his Friends; and it being reported he had often done it, they being met together to behold this Skill, Mr. Tyndall would go in among them, and he sets himself to believe that this Fellow should not be able to do it; and when all his Company was met together, he could not do it; saith he, There sits the man that hinders me. O! Faith can do more than all the Conjurers in the World. Have you any great matter to do, Christians? Call in for Faith: And certainly, there are yet great things to do; Antichrist to fall, the Jews to be called, great things to be done for this Land; God hath done great things, yet greater things are to be done; God hath done great things for your, and my Family, there are yet greater things to be done; God hath done great things for your Soul, there are yet greater things to be done. When any great thing is to be done, Christians, Christians, Call in for Faith, set Faith a work now.
