First, that as hee is wise, and doth things pertaining to the good of his Church: so he is of power to execute all that he aduiseth wisely.
Secondly, that as there is in us no advice of our selves, so there is in us no sound strength to keep us from any evil; but that as he giveth good advice to his, so doth he with his own power perform and effect it. And therefore although we be as the vine,1 of all other trees the weakest, or as the sheep, of all other beasts the simplest; yet we have for our vine a gardiner, and for our shepherd, Christ Jesus the mighty strong God.
