Again; were it not absurd to think the God of Nature less provident, then that Nature He created? now that is deficient to Nothing in things necessary to attain its and, and therefore sure God is not deficient in things necessary to attain His, Far beyond that of Nature.

Yet further; Were it not more absurd, to make the Word of God less Potent then the word of an earthly King? 1and yet with the word of a King there is Power: but so there is not with the Word of the King of Kings, if we deny His Precept feasible.

Nay, more; Were it not most of all absurd to make the Word of God less Potent then the Word of the Devil? And yet we do it by this Tenet of ours: for, if he bids his Creatures, besotted Inamoradoes, Covetous Misers, or Ambitious Aspirers, Deny themselves in some things, to enjoy themselves in others, we see, they do it, even to admiration; and then shall we affirm it impossible to Deny our selves in all things, to enjoy our God? What a Solecism, what a Shame were it, that the Devils servants should be more active, to their Perdition, then God's servants to their Salvations? Pray God, that one day they rise not up in Judgment against us.
