  • Purnell, Robert. No power but of God and yet a power in every creature. Or, A word in season, to all men not void of grace, or deprived of reason. wherein is held forth, that the Almighty God is not wanting to us, in impowering of us; but we are wanting to him, in not improving our talent for him. The Almighty gives to every man some talent or talents, viz. To some natural, to others spiritual talents or gifts: but there is no man that improves his talent so well as he might, in point of obedience to him. Which appears, in our not doing so much good, and refraining so much evil, as by the power he hath given us we ought and might have done. And, that the ordinances, institutions, & appointments of Christ held forth in the Gospel, are still in force: so that to slight them, is to slight our own priviledges; and to forsake them, is to foresake our own mercies. The abuse of Gospel-ordinances by some, doth not take away the lawful rule of them to others. By Robert Purnel. London: printed for Samuel Newton, dwelling in Wine-street in Bristol, 1651. ESTC No. R187132. Grub Street ID 75498.

That repentance and turning to God is not in one call or command, wherefore wait upon the means appointed by God to work it, and that diligently and constantly this work deferred will be still greater, the time to do it wil[l] be shorter, the strength to do it by wil[l] be less, III. If w endeavour to the uttermost to improve the present opportunity and ability that the Almighty gives us, we shall, for ought I know, live with more comfort here and die in full assurance hereafter, for the greatest evil threatned or feared, may through wisdom be timely prevented / by Robert Purnel.
