Sect. 17. To manifest the interest of the Scripture to be enrolled among things of this nature, yea under God himself, who is known by his great power and the Effects of it, to have the Preeminence, I shall observe only one or two things concerning it, the various improvement whereof, would take up more time, and greater space, then I have allotted to this discourse.

Sect. 18. It is absolutely called the Power of God; and that unto it's proper End, which way lies the tendency of it's Efficacy in Operation. Rom. 1. 16. It is [Greek or Hebrew], vis, virtus Dei; the Power of God. [Greek or Hebrew], the word concerning the Cross, that is the Gospel, is ⟨p. 84⟩[Greek or Hebrew]. 1 Cor. 1. 18; the Power of God; And faith which is built on that word, without other helps or Advantages, is said to stand in the Power of God. 1 Cor. 2. 5. That is, effectually working, in and by the Word; it worketh, [Greek or Hebrew]; in the demonstration of the spirit and of power. [Greek or Hebrew]: it's spiritual Power gives a demonstration of it. Thus it comes not as a naked Word, 1 Thes. 1. 5, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and [Greek or Hebrew]; giving all manner of Assurance and full persuasion of it's self, Even by it's Power and Efficacy. Hence it is termed [Greek or Hebrew] the Rod of power, or strength.
