The strife is now, Who shall be Lord of all: whether Satan the
prince of this world, or Christ Jesus the Son of God; or which can
lay the best claim to God's elect, he that produces their sins
against them, or he that laid down his heart's blood a price of
redemption for them. Who then shall condemn, when Christ has died
and does also make intercession?
Stand still, angels, and behold how the Father divides his Son a
"portion with the great," and how he "divides the spoil with the
strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death, and was
numbered with the transgressors, and did bear the sin of many, and
made intercession for the transgressors." The grace of God and the
blood of Christ will, before the end of the world, make brave work
among the sons of men. They shall come for a wonderment to God by
Christ, and--be saved for a wonderment for Christ's sake."
Behold, these shall come from far; and lo, these from the north and
from the west, and these from the land of Sinim."
"What man is he that feareth the Lord?" says David; "him shall he
teach in the way that he shall choose."
Now, to be taught of God, what is like it? Yea, what is like being
taught in the way that them shalt choose? Thou hast chosen the way
to life, God's way; hut perhaps thy ignorance about; it is so great,
and those that tempt thee to turn aside are so many and so subtle,
that, they seem to outwit thee and confound thee with their guile.
