Victory is purchased, and Christ hath overcome already, in his own person: there is *power in the death of Christ, as well as merit. And he that hath overcome for thee, on the Cross; will overcome in thee by his spirit: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 Joh. 4.4. And therefore, Christian, act faith upon the merit, and upon the power of Christs Cross, and believe down thy pride, and believe out thy passion, believe thy corruptions to death: Faithful is he that ⟨p. 122⟩hath promised, who also will do it. Let it not be the reproach of the Cross of Christ, that any corruption or lust should be too hard for it: no, there is enough, and a redundancy in Christ: only the Well is deep, and therefore thou must bring the bucket of faith to it; and then, with joy, thou mayst draw water out of this Well of salvation. Caut. 5
