Without me ye can do nothing.
Without me yee can do nothing.
Through Christ I can do all things.
Nothing, All things; There is a good deal of difference between two men; take one without Christ, and be his parts never so excellent, his resolutions never so strong, his engagements never so sacred, He can do nothing, unless it be to break his Covenants and Vows, as Sampson brake his Cords like threads scorched with the fire; and take the other with a Christ standing by him, and be he in himself never so weak and mean, unlearned and ungifted, lo, as if he were clothed with omnip••eatie, He can do all things; he can subdue such corruptions, conquer such temptations, perform such Duties, and in such a manner, do such things, suffer such things (and in all these keep his Covenant with God) as to other men, and to himself before, were so many impossibilities: He could not before; now he can. Nothing before, All things now. All things fit for an unglorified Saint to do; All things God expects from him; All things in a Gospel sense; All things comparatively to other men, and to himself, when he was another man: See I beseech you, how without ⟨p. 96⟩a Christ, and through a Christ, makes one man differ from an•••er; yea, and from himself, as much as can and cannot; All things and nothing; Impotency and omnipotency, Without me you can do nothing. Through Christ I can do all things.
