not_o ashamed_a as_o you_o ●ay_v read_v in_o rom._n 5.3_o 4_o 5._o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o give_v you_o some_o argument_n or_o reason_n to_o encourage_v we_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o battle_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o spiritual_a enemy_n of_o our_o salvation_n 1_o reas_n the_o first_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o justness_n of_o our_o cause_n the_o war_n be_v just_a therefore_o procee_v we_o may_v with_o boldness_n for_o though_o soldier_n be_v never_o so_o strong_a and_o well_o furnish_v yet_o if_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o they_o fight_v in_o a_o bad_a quarrel_n it_o will_v much_o abate_v their_o courage_n and_o make_v they_o cowardly_a and_o timorous_a but_o our_o cause_n be_v most_o just_a and_o our_o war_n most_o lawful_a for_o god_n who_o be_v justice_n itself_o have_v proclaim_v it_o by_o his_o herald_n the_o apostle_n ephes_n 6.10_o final_o my_o brethren_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n james_n 4.7_o resist_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o will_v fly_v from_o you_o 1_o pet._n 5.8_o be_v sober_a be_v vigilant_a for_o your_o adversary_n the_o devil_n as_o a_o roar_a lion_n walk_v about_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v ver_fw-la 9_o who_o resist_v steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n 2_o reas_n the_o cause_n of_o our_o war_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n as_o namely_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o our_o own_o salvation_n for_o in_o all_o satan_n skirmish_n he_o seek_v to_o impeach_v god_n glory_n with_o false_a imputation_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o utter_v destruction_n and_o this_o may_v appear_v with_o the_o first_o conflict_n of_o he_o with_o our_o mother_n eve_n gen._n 3._o 4_o 5._o where_o he_o accuse_v god_n of_o a_o lie_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o and_o of_o impotency_n and_o envious_a dis●ain_n say_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v forbid_v they_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n be_v not_o as_o he_o have_v say_v because_o they_o shall_v die_v but_o because_o he_o know_v that_o when_o they_o shall_v eat_v thereof_o their_o eye_n shall_v be_v open_v and_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_n 1._o where_o he_o seek_v to_o dim_v the_o beam_n of_o god_n glory_n by_o accuse_v he_o of_o a_o lie_n and_o to_o persuade_v they_o that_o he_o be_v not_o omnipotent_a see_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o hinder_v they_o from_o be_v god_n if_o they_o taste_v of_o this_o fruit_n last_o that_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o eat_v thereof_o because_o he_o envy_v they_o so_o glorious_a a_o estate_n 2._o he_o labour_v to_o destroy_v our_o first_o parent_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n by_o tempt_v they_o to_o disobedience_n and_o transgression_n of_o god_n commandment_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v ●●tly_o join_v those_o two_o together_o in_o the_o 8_o of_o john_n 44._o saying_n that_o he_o be_v a_o li●r_n and_o a_o manslayer_n from_o the_o beginning_n a_o liar_n in_o th●t_n he_o false_o accuse_v god_n of_o a_o lie_n a_o manslayer_n because_o he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v murder_v our_o first_o parent_n and_o all_o their_o posterity_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n 2_o reas_n the_o second_o reason_n to_o move_v we_o to_o undertake_v this_o fight_n be_v the_o profit_n which_o will_v accrue_v unto_o we_o thereby_o for_o no_o soon_o can_v we_o enter_v into_o the_o field_n to_o fight_v against_o these_o enemy_n but_o present_o we_o shall_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n ●ut_v if_o we_o betray_v our_o trust_n that_o be_v god_n cause_n to_o satan_n and_o our_o soul_n to_o sin_n well_o may_v we_o be_v lull_v asleep_o in_o carnal_a security_n but_o we_o shall_v never_o enjoy_v this_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o peace_n of_o conscience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n say_v my_o god_n unto_o the_o wicked_a esa_n 57_o but_o if_o we_o fight_v against_o these_o enemy_n and_o valiant_o overcome_v the_o lord_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v we_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o paradise_n and_o the_o manna_n that_o be_v hide_v and_o that_o he_o will_v write_v our_o name_n in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n rev._n 2.3_o 3._o reas_n the_o three_o reason_n to_o move_v we_o to_o this_o fight_n be_v the_o honour_n which_o will_v accompany_v this_o victory_n if_o earthly_a soldier_n will_v purchase_v honour_n with_o the_o loss_n of_o life_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o applause_n of_o the_o vain_a people_n what_o hazard_n shall_v we_o undergo_v in_o fight_v the_o spiritual_a combat_n see_v our_o grand_a captain_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o infinite_a multitude_n of_o bless_a angel_n look_v upon_o we_o and_o behold_v our_o combat_n who_o praise_n and_o approbation_n be_v our_o chief_a felicity_n what_o peril_n shall_v we_o fea●_n to_o obtain_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n which_o be_v promi_fw-la sed_fw-la to_o all_o that_o overcome_v and_o to_o become_v heir_n apparent_a to_o god_n kingdom_n 4._o reas_n the_o four_o reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o undertake_v this_o combat_n there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o towardly_a that_o will_v not_o fight_v when_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n in_o flight_n no_o mercy_n to_o be_v expect_v in_o the_o enemy_n no_o outrage_n and_o cruelty_n which_o will_v not_o be_v commit_v but_o such_o be_v our_o enemy_n that_o we_o can_v possible_o fly_v from_o he_o his_o malice_n be_v unreconcilable_a his_o cruelty_n be_v outrageous_a for_o he_o fight_v not_o against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v attain_v sovereignty_n alone_o abridge_v we_o of_o our_o liberty_n spoil_v we_o of_o our_o good_n but_o he_o aim_v at_o our_o death_n destruction_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o apostle_n james_n in_o his_o epistle_n 1_o chapter_n the_o 12_o verse_n pronounce_v they_o bless_v that_o endure_v temptation_n for_o when_o by_o trial_n he_o shall_v be_v find_v approve_v he_o shall_v receive_v a_o crown_n ●f_a life_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o last_o we_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o this_o fight_n by_o certain_a hope_n of_o victory_n for_o we_o fight_v under_o the_o standard_n of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o alone_o be_v mighty_a than_o all_o our_o enemy_n that_o assault_v we_o ephes_n 6.12_o our_o saviour_n have_v spoil_v principality_n and_o power_n and_o have_v make_v a_o show_n of_o they_o open_o and_o have_v triumph_v over_o they_o upon_o the_o cross_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o fear_v to_o fight_v against_o ●eaten_a and_o conquer_a enemy_n for_o every_o one_o shall_v be_v a_o conqueror_n that_o desire_v the_o conquest_n for_o if_o we_o will_v be_v the_o lord_n soldier_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o much_o disgrace_n as_o to_o let_v we_o be_v overcome_v by_o his_o mortal_a enemy_n have_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n which_o may_v encourage_v we_o to_o fight_v this_o combat_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o the_o spiritual_a warfare_n itself_o and_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o lay_v before_o you_o the_o malice_n of_o our_o great_a adversary_n the_o devil_n therefore_o in_o a_o enemy_n who_o proclaim_v war_n against_o we_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v two_o thing_n first_o his_o will_n second_o his_o power_n if_o he_o have_v will_n to_o hurt_v we_o and_o no_o power_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v if_o power_n and_o no_o irreconcilable_a malice_n he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v but_o if_o his_o power_n be_v great_a and_o his_o will_n malicious_a it_o be_v time_n then_o for_o we_o to_o look_v about_o we_o and_o muster_v up_o all_o our_o force_n that_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o endure_v the_o encounter_n 1._o first_o therefore_o touch_v the_o will_n of_o our_o grand_a enemy_n the_o devil_n if_o we_o consider_v of_o it_o aright_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o to_o be_v very_o malicious_o bend_v against_o we_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o reconciliation_n with_o he_o though_o we_o can_v be_v content_a to_o make_v a_o truce_n or_o a_o dishonourable_a peace_n with_o god_n and_o our_o e●●my_n satan_n malice_n to_o mankind_n be_v endless_a
