Again I call that the power of godliness which is performed by the Divine power, force and efficacy of the spirit: in the Rom. 2. it is said that The Gentiles that were not under the Law did by nature the things contained in the Law: 1That is, they did not by the power and efficacy of the spirit, but by Nature. This Paul speaks of in the 2 Tim 2. 23. In the later time men shall come in form of godliness, that is ⟨p. 58⟩with a form or show without substance or power of the spirit, But the inward strength which is in the Inward man doth not only teach you to do, but also it teacheth you how to do them; from an inward principle of sanctifying grace.
