5. The powerful or mighty Spirit: The Spirit of the Lord is called the Spirit of 1might, Isa. 11. 2. The power of the holy Ghost, Rom. 15. 13. the power of the Spirit of God, verse 19. the power of the Highest, Luke 1. 35. It was the power of this Spirit which did convince you of your sins, and which did break your heard harts, and did rescue and deliver you from the power of darkness; which doth subdue your iniquities, and pull down your strong bolds: It was, and is this powerful Spirit by whom the Ministrations, or Ordinances of the Gospel have been, and still are of power with you.
