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.
