by_o faith_n because_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v great_a need_n to_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v increase_v our_o faith_n that_o

mean_v we_o have_v to_o fetch_v power_n from_o god_n to_o be_v preserve_v from_o satan_n this_o faith_n be_v our_o shield_n whosoever_o shall_v make_v themselves_o shield_v of_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v devise_v to_o repulse_n satan_n withal_o they_o shall_v have_v but_o a_o spider_n web_n and_o satan_n will_v but_o sport_v himself_o at_o such_o presumption_n wherefore_o let_v we_o

let_v we_o gather_v all_o those_o promise_n together_o &_o make_v a_o shield_n of_o they_o to_o set_v before_o we_o when_o soever_o we_o be_v assail_v and_o let_v we_o defy_v the_o devil_n because_o

and_o promise_v to_o be_v a_o faithful_a keeper_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o the_o end_n 1_o if_o we_o be_v tempt_v with_o covetousness_n because_o we_o be_v afraid_a lest_o the_o earth_n shall_v fail_v we_o let_v we_o remember_v god_n have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o charge_n to_o nourish_v and_o sustain_v us._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o ask_v our_o daily_a bread_n at_o

which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v sustain_v by_o they_o thereby_o to_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o heavenly_a life_n and_o shall_v we_o turn_v the_o thing_n to_o our_o hindrance_n that_o ought_v to_o
