who_o usual_a boast_n be_v veni_fw-la vidi_fw-la vici_fw-la i_o come_v i_o see_v i_o overcome_v but_o in_o this_o war_n our_o apostle_n doubt_v not_o to_o affirm_v of_o those_o young_a soldier_n they_o have_v overcome_v and_o that_o not_o without_o good_a reason_n for_o 1._o they_o be_v say_v to_o overcome_v the_o devil_n whilst_o they_o loc_n be_v yet_o in_o the_o fight_n because_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o overcome_v it_o be_v not_o unusual_a in_o scripture_n to_o express_v that_o as_o accomplish_v which_o shall_v sure_o be_v fulfil_v thus_o the_o prophet_n often_o speak_v of_o christ_n suffering_n which_o a_o long_a time_n after_o be_v to_o be_v undergo_v in_o the_o present_a and_o preterperfect_a tense_n for_o this_o reason_n might_n st_n john_n thus_o express_v this_o victory_n indeed_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o other_o battle_n alea_n belli_fw-la incerta_fw-la the_o success_n of_o war_n be_v dubious_a ofttimes_o the_o less_o number_n weak_a side_n and_o worst_a cause_n get_v the_o day_n in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v just_o say_v let_v not_o he_o that_o demetr_v put_v on_o his_o armour_n boast_v as_o he_o that_o put_v it_o of_o they_o that_o have_v go_v into_o the_o field_n big_a with_o hope_n have_v return_v home_o with_o shame_n but_o in_o this_o war_n it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o fight_n and_o the_o conquest_n be_v certain_a st_n james_n position_n be_v

to_o christ_n cast_v thyself_o down_o he_o can_v not_o cast_v he_o down_o we_o may_v give_v ourselves_o into_o his_o hand_n otherwise_o he_o can_v captivate_v we_o indeed_o christ_n have_v wrought_v the_o victory_n for_o we_o so_o the_o first_o promise_n tell_v of_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n that_o be_v his_o power_n and_o policy_n so_o the_o evangelicall_n history_n

because_o the_o spiritual_a life_n in_o they_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o eternal_a so_o they_o be_v say_v to_o overcome_v because_o they_o begin_v that_o conquest_n which_o shall_v never_o end_v indeed_o the_o church_n triumphant_a be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o sun_n nor_o shall_v a_o complete_a victory_n be_v obtain_v till_o this_o mortality_n put_v on_o immortality_n the_o
