It may be you are afraid, and you will say thus: I am a poor weak Creature, man or woman, and I shall never be able for to bear a Testimony in these witness-bearing times?
I but you know what the Martyr said, I'll set my foot against the 1foot of the proudest Prelate of them all in the cause of Christ: But who gave power unto her;—Jesus Christ that saith, I will give power unto my two Witnesses; and he hath said so concerning all his Witnesses: I will give power unto my two Witnesses, that they shall Prophesy, and bear witness; and he is faithful: and therefore why should you not go to Christ, and lay your selves flat upon this Promise, and say to him: O Lord, I am a poor weak Creature; I fear I shall never be able for to bear my Testimony, but thou hast said, I will give power unto my two Witnesses; I am one of thy Witnesses: Now then O Lord, give power to me, for I am poor; O remember this Promise, here's a gracious and a blessed Promise: Christ saith himself, I will give power unto my two Witnesses, and he is faithful, and will make it good. And so I have done with the fourth thing, namely, what Prophesying is, and how the Witnesses come to Prophesy in the times of their Sackcloth; Christ gives them power.
