us to fight the battell Now by the help of God I will shew you in brief what are the spirituall weapons that the souldiers of Christ must take up to fight against all false doctrine and false power that belongeth to the divel It is written in Eph. 6. Stand fast having your loynes girt about with truth for the Law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Iesus Christ Ioh. 1. Wherefore if any Divine shal tel you that the old Law is to be joyned to the glorious body of Christ you may answer him plainly he speaks not the truth Again put on the brest-plate of righteousnes not the righteousnes which is of the Law which S. Paul calleth his own righteousnes For if righteousnes come by the Law Christ died in vain Gal. 2.21 For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnesse to every one that believeth Rom. 10.4 God hath made him to be sin for us which knew no sin that we should be made the righteousnsse of God in him 2 Cor. 5.21 Thus I have proved in briefe the brest-plate of righteousnesse signifieth Christ and his Word which is revealed in his Gospel Againe Having your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospell of peace Christ saith In him we shall find peace that is al those that wil be reconciled to Christ and the obedience of his Word Christ wil speak peace to their soules For all the promises of God are in him yea and Amen to the praise and glory of his grace For Christ who is the perfect God he saith plainly Ioh. 5.24 Verily verily I say unto you hee that heareth my Word and beleeveth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death to life that is from the death and bondage of sin and Satan by the vertue and divine power of the Word of God in the doctrine of the new Testament which is the life of glory and grace Againe take the shield of faith whereby ye shal be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked It is written Gal. 3.11 The just shall live by faith and the Law is not of faith I say not of the lively and justifying faith for S. Paul saith plainly and so say I Gal. 5.16 By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified for Christ was delivered for our offences and was raised againe for our justification Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord which is by the divine power of his Word which signifieth the shield of faith Againe take the helmet of salvation for now I praise God I plainly understand that saying wil be brought to passe that is written Luke 3. All flesh shall see the salvation of our God for now a glorious God wil shew and set forth by the divine power of his Word Christ and the true Church from the divel and the false Church that al people by degrees shal discerne the one from the other with the eyes of their understanding as plainly as they may discerne the Sun from the Moone with their bodily eyes so all people shal be forced to see the salvation of our God whether they wil or no. For God by the divine power of his word will open the eyes of the people so cleare that they shall plainly see and understand that there is no salvation to be attained but by Christ and by the divine power of his word which is the helmet of our salvation so all those people that will be reconciled unto it they shall see it to their everlasting joy and glory But on the other side all those people that shall wilfully fight against it they shall see it to their eternall death and damnation if they do not repent and yeeld obedience unto it Again take the sword of the spirit which is the word of God the sword I understand and prove that it signifieth Christ and his word for in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God Christ is the word and Christ was with God and Christ is God for the word of God is quick and powerfull and sharper then any two edged sword Heb. 4. First it is quick in apprehention for to cut and devide betwixt the Law and the Gospel Secondly it is powerfull to draw the people from the bondage of sinne and corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God Thus I have shewed you in briefe what are the Weapons that the souldiers of Christ must take up to fight against al false doctrine and false power that belongeth to the divil and his Kingdom of darknes But if the trumpet give an uncertaine sound who shal prepare himselfe to the battel wherefore I praise God I have proved the Bishops and al their Clergy to be false preachers which give a false and contrary sound for they are ministers of the Letter which are instruments of the devil for in Gods sight they are no better For the more powerfully vpon that instrument they do sound the more they help the divil beare up his Crowne I have proved the letter signifieth the old Law and the Apostle saith plainly and so say I 1 Cor. 15. The strength of sinne is the Law and the devil and al his carnal ministers they are yet the strengh of sinne for by that authority that is given unto them they keep the people under unbeleife for I say once again Christ is the end of the Law to every one that beleeveth wherefore I Iames Hunt humbly beseech al good Christian people In the city and in countrey round For to observe the trumpet sound Which kindly doth you all intreate To put on all your spirituall armory complete That you Christs souldiers may be found To help me get the Bishops Clergies kingdome downe So when we have won the victory Christ will give the crowne of glory to you and me To triumph in glory here for a time and in the world to come world without end It is written 1 Cor. 6.2 Know you not that the Saints shall judge the world I have already proved that the Saints are al those people that shal be reconciled to Christ through belief and obedience of the truth Wherefore I plainly and boldly say that the Saints of God by the divine power of his Word shal proclaime a doome and judgment of everlasting death and damnation against al those people that shal wilfully rise up in battel to fight against God and us if they doe not repent and be reconciled unto God and us so I make no doubt when we shal declare our proclamation which we shal receive from the divine power of God and his Word it wil be a greater feare and astonishment unto al those people that shal rise up against us then if there were thousands of thousands of men in arms rising up against them to destroy them for the death of the
