1The same is more lively expressed in the words that f• low. For a sharp two edged sword cometh out of […] Lords mouth. This sword, is the word of God, as […] right well declared in the sixth to the Ephes. and fourth to […] Hebrews. And this word or sword hangeth not upon […] wall nor sticketh fast in the sheathe, nor hangeth by the f but cometh out of the mouth. He saith not, it came foort it shall come forth: But it cometh forth, as the thing th in continual operation, or perpetual preaching through the world. And it is two edged, sharp and piercing, as in the heart of the Godly unto salvation, as in the heart the wicked to pain and condemnation. And yet at […] day cometh out that sword of the mouth of Christ by mouths of Ministers. The word of Christ is in deed temned of the world, and is called of many a fable: But […] a sword, and that a sword out of Christs mouth. All […] unfaithful do find and shall find this, how soever […] resist. With this sword Christ killeth the wicked. And effect of this sword is greater than was the sword of A ander, Pompey, Julius Cesar, or Marius, Attila, or merlane. Neither maketh it any skill, though the w now acknowledge it not. It shall do in time to com their greatest evil. Doubtless with this spirit of his m the Lord continueth always to comfort and govern church, so that he is never absent from the same.
