1 John 4:1-3

Chapter 4
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Therefore, I hereby confess that "Jesus Christ is come [is presently here] in the flesh!"

John 1:1-2

Chapter 1

Authorized (King James) Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

_________________________________________________

He was born of a virgin 2,026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea

He’s alive today, and is coming soon for His Bride; the Church.

1 Timothy 3:16

Chapter 3

"16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,

believed on in the world, received up into glory."

You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior and your Lord and to publicly acknowledge Him as such. He will acknowledge you then to His Father; The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. You are also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism.

Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.” Matthew 3:15

Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him. “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

The act of Baptism pictures the Lord’s death and resurrection and by extension through identification with Him, also pictures the believer’s death to self, atonement, and new, born-again life.

The ordinance of Baptism follows the preaching of John the Baptist. He preached the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, while the ordinance of baptism is not required for salvation it should be followed

to fulfil all righteousness.

_______________________________________________

You are invited to Worship The Lord Jesus

in Spirit and in truth.

This worship will manifest itself in fervent Prayer, Bible reading, study and meditation, Hearing and heeding inspired gospel preaching, The singing of sacred hymns and songs inspired by the Holy Ghost.

To encourage this, the Website: dailypurgeon.com may be helpful.

It cannot however, take the place of in-person congregational worship with a local body of believers.

“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending to share] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Becoming a more fully devoted follower of The Lord Jesus Christ is our sincere purpose. We trust Him for our salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny. We will, in His almighty power, win souls through the instrumentality He may inspire. We will invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved.

We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit from knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are being conformed to the image of Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

DailySpurgeon.com is an Internet presence of devotional writings, prayers and encouragement from Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He has rightly divided [preached and taught] God’s Word through Sermons from The Metropolitan Tabernacle, with sacred congregational music of worship and praise to encourage and strengthen edification from GOD’S Word and for the elect to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for July 13th *A.D. 2026 Was written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892

Please Discern whether this website is trustworthy according to GOD’S authoritative, inspired, [GOD breathed] inerrant, immutable Scripture ?

Is it of God?

Is it trustworthy? Please Read the following, again!

1 John 4:1-3

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the [Holy] Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Hence, I confess here that "Jesus Christ is come [is present, here] in the flesh!"

PRAYER 25, July 13th Part 7 of 10 THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD.

O Savior, make us like Thyself. We wish not so much to do as to be. If Thou wilt [will] make us to be right we shall do right. We find how often we have to put a constraint upon ourselves to be right, but, oh! that we were [would be] like Thee, Jesus, so that we had but to act out [just be ourselves], to act out [in] perfect holiness.

We shall never rest till this is the case, till Thou hast [have] made us, ourselves to be inwardly holy, and then words and actions must be holy as a matter of course. [Of course, they must]

Now, here we are, Lord, and we belong to Thee. Oh! it is because we are Thine own that we have hope. Thou wilt [will] make us worthy of Thee. Thy possession of us is our hope of perfection. Thou dost [do] wash our feet because we are Thine own. Oh! how sweet is the mercy which first took us to its heart and made us all its own and now continues to deal tenderly with us, that being Christ’s own we may have [Jesus] Christ within us which all may see proves us to be Christ’s own! I am grateful for your matchless love, Lord Jesus, Amen.

ANECDOTE 341: July 13th A Word in Season.

A smith [blacksmith] was blowing his bellows one day, when the saintly [Robert Murray] McCheyne stepped into the smithy [blacksmith’s shop] for shelter from a shower of rain. As the smith was blowing the coals and they were at a great heat, he [McCheyne] simply said to him,

“What does that fire make you think of?”

He never waited for an answer, but went his way. It made the smith think of the wrath to come, and it made him flee from it too. We cannot tell what may be, in the gracious providence of God, the means of bringing you to decision. He that used an angel’s hand with Lot, can use a well-timed observation with you.

Therefore, I urge all Christian people that they use every opportunity, and study to [and thoughtfully] season their conversation with grace.

Sow beside all waters, for you know not which may prosper, this or that. ________________________________________

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK July 13th IMPLICIT TRUST
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892

-For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey [freedom] unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord- Jeremiah 39:18
-Porque ciertamente te libraré, y no caerás a cuchillo, sino que tu vida te será por despojo [premio] , porque tuviste confianza en mi, dice Jehova- Jeremias 39:18

Behold the protecting power of trust in God. The great men of Jerusalem fell by the sword, but poor Ebed-melech was secure, for his confidence was in Jehovah. Where else should a man trust but in his Maker?

We are foolish when we prefer the creature to the Creator. Oh, that we could in all things live by faith, then should we [we would] be delivered in all time of danger! No one ever did trust in the Lord in vain, and no one ever shall.

The Lord saith, [says] -I will surely deliver thee.- Mark the divine [word] -surely.- Whatever else may be uncertain,

God’s care of believers is sure.

God Himself is the guardian of the gracious. Under His sacred wing there is safety even when every danger is abroad [afoot]. Can we accept this promise as sure [certain]? Then in our present emergency we shall find that it [the promise] stands fast [is done].

We hope to be delivered because we have friends, or because we are prudent, or because we can see hopeful signs; but none of these things are one half so good as God’s simple

-because thou hast put thy trust in me.-

Dear reader, try this way, and, trying it, you will keep to it all your life. It is as sweet as it is sure.

Prayer: Thank You Father, that You deliver your children, from all danger when we place our trust in You. Thank You also for the reassurance that in this trust, our life will be a prize of freedom to us. Help us to put our trust completely in You, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING July 13th

"God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry?" [Is your anger justifiable?] —Jonah 4:9

Dijo Dios á Jonás : ¿ te enojas? — Jonás 4:9

ANGER is not always or necessarily sinful, but it has such a tendency to run wild that whenever it displays itself we should be quick to question its character with this enquiry, "Doest thou well to be angry?" [Is your anger justifiable?] It may be that we can answer, "Yes."

Very frequently anger is the madman's firebrand, [torch] but

sometimes it is Elijah's fire from heaven.

We do well when we are angry with sin because of the wrong it commits against our good and gracious God, or with ourselves because we remain so foolish after so much divine instruction, or with others when the sole cause of anger is the evil they do.

He who is not angry at transgression [sin] becomes a partaker in it.

Sin is a loathsome and hateful thing, and no renewed heart can patiently endure [stand] it. God Himself is angry with the wicked every day, and it is written in His Word,

"Ye that love the Lord, hate evil."

Far more frequently we should fear that our anger is not commendable or even justifiable, and then we must answer, "No."

Why should we be fretful [impatient] with children, short-tempered with servants [employees], and wrathful with companions?

Is such anger honorable to our Christian profession, or glorifying to God? Is it not the old evil heart, seeking to gain dominion, [control others] and should we not resist it with all the might of our newborn nature?

Many give way [give in] to temper as though it were useless to attempt resistance; but let the believer remember that he must be a conqueror in every point or else he cannot be crowned.

If we cannot control our tempers, what has grace done for us? Someone told Mr. Jay that grace was often grafted on a 1crab-stump.

"Yes," said he, "but the fruit will not be crabs."

We must not make natural infirmity an excuse for sin, but

we must fly [run] to the cross and pray the Lord to crucify our tempers, and renew us in gentleness and meekness after His own image.

EVENING July 13th "WHEN I CRY UNTO THEE, THEN SHALL MINE ENEMIES TURN BACK: THIS I KNOW; FOR GOD IS FOR ME. " — Psalm 56:9
—Serán luego vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamaré: En esto conozco que Dios es por mí. — Salmos 56:9

IT is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase,

"God is for me. "

He was:

"for us" before the worlds were made; He was

"for us," or He would not have given His well-beloved Son; He was

"for us" when He smote [struck] the Only-begotten and laid the full weight of His wrath on Him: He was

"for us" though He turned against [away from] Him [Jesus]. He was

"for us," when we were ruined in the fall [the original sin]; He loved us notwithstanding all. He was

"for us," when we were rebels against Him and with a high hand [our arrogance] were bidding Him defiance [shaking our fist at Him];

"for us" or He would not have brought us humbly to seek His face. He has been

"for us" in many struggles; we have been summoned to encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by temptations from without and within.

—how could we have remained unharmed to this hour

if He had not been "for us"?

He is
"for us" with all the infinity of His being, with all the omnipotence [infinite power] of His love, with all the infallibility [unmistakenability] of His wisdom; arrayed in all His [infinitely] divine attributes. He is
"for us," eternally and immutably [unchanging and unchangeably] "for us;"

"for us" when the blue skies will be rolled up like a worn out vesture [suit];
"for us" throughout eternity. And

because He is "for us,"

the voice of prayer will always ensure His help. "When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies be turned back.”

This is no uncertain hope, but a well-grounded assurance—

"this I know." I will direct my prayer to God and will look up for the answer assured that it will come, and that mine enemies will be defeated,

"for God is for me."

0 believer, how happy are you with the King of kings on your side! How safe with such a Protector! How sure your cause pleaded by such an Advocate!

If God be for us, who can be against us?

A SINNER’S PRAYER July 13th

Whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus, like this. Won’t you?

“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless to save myself. Without you and your blood that was shed for me and Your death on the cross I would spend eternity in Hell’s fire.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.

Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner. But, because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus. You took my place on the cross and provided the way for me to be forgiven. Thank You.
Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would atone for my sins.

Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free.

You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven.

Thank you, Father, for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Romans 6:11

Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always give witness to and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 16:8-11

With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.
Live Your life in me, Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking

WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?

(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!

Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Psalm 139:6

Authorized (King James) Version

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!

Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!

(two issues: holy and eternal)

Psalm 72:17
“His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”

Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”

(4 Four) His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”

Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”

(5 Five) His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]

Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him.”

Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

(6 Six) His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM]

El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________

To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider, Provider of More than Enough]

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.

By Dr. Phil Stringer

In Defense of I John 5:7

By Dr. Phil Stringer

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)

Daniel Webster [Author of the Famous Webster Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you [Mr. Webster] to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?

His answer was, “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain HIM.”

Why The Traditional Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than both the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, Primary Greek sources used in all Critical Text translations.

This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.

*The unique and final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.
__________________________________________

The Lord Jesus *Christ
[*Anointed Messiah]

was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.

He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.

He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]

[The CHURCH] is HIS espoused [Legally Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.

“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30

________________________________

1 John 5:7 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and Pagans.

Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son, [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].

GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]

The Traditional Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)

The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].

Over Five Billion King James Bibles, the 1769 Edition [NOT the NEW King James Bibles based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible.

This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________

The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text

(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

By Dr. David Sorenson

So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”

No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.

The issue is not translational.

Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:

Easier to read.
More modern.
More accurate (Not true)

The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.

The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.

On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

We’re Grateful.

Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com a website to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would include..

Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.

His memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren.. Romans 13:7 Romans 8:28-29

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: by Jon Edward Riley,

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for in: “The heart of Freedom”

INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.

… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

________________________________________

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s testimony is from one who, by grace through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.

Amen.

Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,

Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful and loving heart.

SACRED LITERATURE: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Note: Spurgeon was taught to read at a very early age and read The Pilgrim’s Progress for the first time when he was six years old. He would return to re-read it over 100 times. He made many references to it in his sermons as Pastor of The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.

Excerpt from Sermon: II. § 5 THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY,

WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU

"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture in The Pilgrim’s Progress. of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams [ancient weapons of war] had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melodies], for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle] he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.

Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.
