Disparity.
A Man naturally dead is altogether uncapable to make any opposition against the supernatural Power of God, put forth in order to quicken him, or raise him to Life, he can no way, directly or indirectly oppose it. But a Man who is dead, spiritually dead in Sin, when God in a gracious way comes to use Means to quicken him, or raise him to a State of Life, he makes opposition, nay; and doth greatly resist and strive against the good Motions of the Spirit, and Workings of God, in order to his Vivification. So that the Power of God is more manifestly seen in the quickning of one spiritually dead, than in quickning one dead naturally.
