Unto all patience] It may be you have strength to bear some afflictions, you have some patience; But are you strengthened with all might? and are you strengthened according to the glorious power of God, unto all patience? And it may be for a time you seem to have some patience; But hath Patience had her perfect work in you? and is it to all long-suffering? Though the affliction doth continue a great while, Will you patiently hold out to long-suffering, and that with joyfulness? This is the glory of a Christian, to have strength with God, the glorious power of God strengthening of them to all might, to all patience, with long-suffering, and with joyfulness; And with his strength he had power with God, and he prevailed; he was as a Prince with God, and so, that's the word according to the expression, in Gen. 32. 28. For as a Prince he hath power with God; whereas it is said in your books, 1That with his strength he had power with God, the words may be as well translated, He was a Prince with God; and then 2it is repeated, yea, he had power over the Angel, he was a Prince against the Angel, and so prevailed.
