And his power likewise shall be mighty, God will suffer him to grow to a great strength, but not by his own power, so says the Text, although you could not see how he could raise any such power of his own, yet he shall have a great power, he shall have money, Ammunition, strength, from foreign Princes, or as some would have it, God himself shall give power to him, beyond what he hath of his own. Surely if the power against the Church be Gods rather then the adversaries own, then the power for deliverance of the Church must be acknowledged to be Gods rather then our own, but I rather take the former sense to be the intent of the Holy Ghost in that place. It follows, he shall prosper and practise, he shall not be always consulting, demurring, delaying, but he shall be doing, and thereby he shall prosper: The word is faciet, he shall do something, The prosperous success of 1war depends much upon action.
