For, to usurp the word of God, only in the mouth, without the faith and troth of the spirit of God, is to abuse the name of God, as the false Prophets, Hirelings, and Enchanters do: for, the kingdom of God consisteth not in the word, but in the power and efficacy of the same.

Toby. I believe thee very well: & seeing that there is so little faith in the world, I do not much marvel, though the word of God take so little effect in many now a days, aswell the Preachers as the hearers. Furthermore, thou mayest well call this world a raging sea, for it is tossed and turmoiled on every side, with horrible & violent winds of ambition, vainglory, avarice, extortion, Pride, arrogance, presumption, over weening, envy, hatred, malice, and vengeance: which have so swollen and moved it, and tossed up the waves so high, that I look every hour when it shall over flow, and drown up the earth, as Noes flood did.
