god_n he_o that_o be_v humble_a and_o lowly_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n not_o seek_v praise_n &_o glory_n to_o himself_o which_o be_v vain_a but_o delight_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o perform_v great_a and_o noble_a act_n whereby_o that_o glory_n may_v be_v advance_v shun_v no_o peril_n nor_o refuse_v no_o labour_n there_o be_v the_o true_a fortitude_n there_o be_v the_o great_a mind_n there_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o admiration_n he_o respect_v the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o pure_a worship_n of_o god_n he_o tender_v the_o church_n he_o seek_v the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o regard_n of_o these_o he_o forget_v himself_o here_o be_v the_o sweet_a &_o pleasant_a fruit_n which_o spring_v from_o a_o good_a root_n even_o from_o a_o sound_a virtue_n hereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o final_a cause_n gyve_v as_o it_o be_v the_o essential_a form_n unto_o fortitude_n and_o make_v her_o fuite_n wholesome_a no_o man_n can_v climb_v up_o thus_o high_a but_o through_o grace_n even_o through_o the_o new_a birth_n in_o christ_n jesus_n because_o of_o itself_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v whole_o overspread_v with_o vanity_n &_o lu_v after_o vain_a thing_n and_o can_v so_o much_o as_o have_v one_o motion_n towards_o a_o right_a end_n 13._o now_o be_v we_o hereupon_o to_o deal_v a_o little_a with_o those_o man_n which_o hold_v this_o perverse_a opinion_n that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v both_o godly_a and_o valiant_a they_o do_v perceive_v plain_o that_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n require_v humility_n meekness_n patience_n gentleness_n and_o long_o suffer_v and_o that_o without_o these_o no_o man_n can_v be_v godly_a they_o take_v these_o then_o to_o be_v no_o warlike_a property_n nor_o fit_n in_o any_o respect_n for_o a_o soldier_n and_o hereupon_o they_o thus_o speak_v he_o that_o will_v study_v the_o worde_n of_o god_n to_o follow_v and_o to_o practice_v it_o let_v he_o be_v chain_v up_o in_o the_o church_n like_o a_o moopish_a fool_n or_o a_o milk-sope_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v fit_a to_o deal_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n what_o warrior_n shall_v he_o prove_v and_o if_o a_o man_n be_v as_o proud_a as_o lucifer_n as_o fell_a as_o a_o dragon_n will_v swear_v horrible_a oath_n and_o commit_v whoredom_n and_o live_v in_o other_o abominable_a vice_n as_o have_v cast_v off_o all_o fear_n of_o god_n like_o a_o devil_n incarnate_a that_o be_v fierce_a and_o stout_a unto_o quarrel_n and_o bloody_a revenge_n that_o be_v he_o who_o they_o extol_v and_o magnify_v above_o the_o cloud_n he_o carry_v the_o brave_a mind_n he_o be_v fit_a to_o make_v a_o valiant_a soldier_n this_o wicked_a error_n if_o i_o may_v gyve_v it_o so_o soft_a a_o phrase_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o have_v any_o answer_n because_o they_o that_o hold_v it_o have_v even_o as_o monster_n quench_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o the_o principle_n which_o the_o gentile_n hold_v do_v confute_v they_o for_o by_o those_o spark_n of_o light_n which_o remain_v in_o nature_n the_o very_a heathen_a do_v affirm_v that_o a_o virtue_n can_v never_o be_v void_a of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a holy_a &_o pure_a for_o what_o be_v virtue_n but_o purity_n holiness_n and_o goodness_n those_o gentile_n conclude_v thereupon_o that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v both_o ungodly_a &_o endue_v with_o fortitude_n for_o how_o shall_v the_o most_o pure_a and_o princely_a virtue_n be_v seat_v in_o a_o wicked_a impure_a mind_n mark_v then_o how_o contrary_a this_o be_v to_o the_o speech_n of_o our_o man_n which_o say_v that_o fortitude_n and_o godliness_n can_v be_v join_v together_o and_o that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v both_o godly_a and_o valiant_a what_o be_v this_o as_o i_o say_v but_o utter_o to_o quench_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o turn_v virtue_n into_o vice_n and_o vice_n into_o virtue_n 14._o and_o where_o as_o they_o call_v they_o brave_a mind_a man_n which_o be_v bold_a

with_o these_o they_o take_v these_o to_o be_v sweet_a jewel_n &_o comely_a ornament_n that_o deck_n &_o beautify_v otherwise_o how_o can_v they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o brave_a mind_n when_o
