Yes sure: Answ. Why does he say else, That in all these things we are more than conquerors? There is an adversary power in this. And what think you when he says, That neither life, nor death, nor Angels, nor principalities, and powers? Does not the Devil come in there, under principalities and powers? Neither does he say thus: I'll hope well now, That because Christ dies, and 'tis God that justifies; I'll hope well: No, but I am persuaded, none of all these shall separate me from the love of God in Christ. Though I have feared, I will fear no more. Thus he makes his Triumph. Oh! what strong consolation is here to all the Saints? You that are the tempted Saints of God, do not your hearts burn, and glow within you with love to Jesus Christ? and will you question his love to you? Did Christ Come and ⟨p. 335⟩succour you? and will not you succour your selves? Is his heart full of succour toward you? and won't you own it? The Lord rebuke our unbelief.
