A01739	Tvvo sermons vpon 1. Peter 5. vers .8. and 9 Wherein is shewed that the diuell is to be resisted only by a stedfast faith, how soeuer he commeth either against soule or body: and that whosoeuer hath once attained the true and liuelie faith, it can neuer be vtterly lost, but he is sure to get the victorie. By M. George Giffard, Preacher of the worde of God at Mauldon in Essex.	Gifford, George, d. 1620.	1597 (1597)	STC 11871; ESTC S112185	45,095	88

moreover_o he_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n that_o will_v be_v steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n to_o resist_v the_o devil_n that_o he_o be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n and_o that_o he_o abstain_v from_o commit_v those_o vice_n which_o nature_n do_v lead_v unto_o for_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o temptation_n or_o when_o satan_n do_v assault_v it_o will_v great_o shake_v the_o mind_n if_o a_o man_n when_o he_o do_v look_v for_o the_o argument_n of_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o find_v that_o he_o have_v be_v fruitless_a but_o if_o his_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v he_o not_o only_o of_o a_o slackness_n in_o good_a work_n but_o also_o of_o foul_a sin_n commit_v then_o will_v he_o cry_v out_o that_o all_o his_o former_a profession_n of_o the_o faith_n be_v but_o in_o show_n or_o in_o hypocrisy_n this_o apostle_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o second_o epistle_n teach_v that_o if_o we_o join_v virtue_n with_o our_o faith_n and_o with_o virtue_n knowledge_n and_o with_o knowledge_n temperance_n &_o with_o temperance_n patience_n and_o with_o patience_n godliness_n and_o with_o godliness_n brotherlie_a kindness_n and_o with_o brotherlie_a kindness_n

assure_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o we_o that_o god_n have_v call_v we_o effectual_o and_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v us._n and_o therein_o do_v consist_v the_o steadfastness_n of_o faith_n even_o when_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o in_o his_o son_n unto_o life_n eternal_a if_o this_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n towards_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v attain_a unto_o how_o can_v he_o say_v who_o resist_v steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n can_v there_o be_v any_o steadfast_a faith_n without_o that_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o think_v well_o of_o these_o thing_n let_v we_o use_v all_o care_n and_o diligence_n yea_o all_o the_o holy_a mean_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o increase_v our_o faith_n that_o be_v arm_v thereby_o we_o may_v resist_v and_o overcome_v our_o enemy_n the_o devil_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o the_o devil_n be_v to_o be_v resist_v only_o by_o faith_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v use_v i_o answer_v that_o saint_n peter_n do_v set_v down_o the_o only_a way_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o resist_v the_o devil_n we_o have_v nothing_o whereby_o to_o withstand_v he_o but_o faith_n and_o that_o be_v sufficient_a alone_a to_o withstand_v he_o whatsoever_o way_n he_o sekee_v to_o hurt_v us._n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v evident_a unto_o all_o man_n the_o power_n of_o god_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a every_o man_n will_v confess_v to_o shield_n we_o from_o the_o devil_n and_o no_o power_n indeed_o but_o the_o power_n of_o god_n i'faith_o only_o arm_v we_o with_o that_o power_n of_o god_n and_o make_v it_o as_o it_o be_v we_o he_o that_o stand_v and_o live_v as_o the_o the_o scripture_n speak_v by_o faith_n stand_v and_o live_v not_o in_o himself_o but_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n if_o we_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o seek_v help_n to_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o put_v he_o to_o flight_v any_o where_o but_o in_o god_n then_o may_v we_o use_v some_o other_o way_n to_o resist_v he_o beside_o faith_n we_o be_v to_o resist_v he_o by_o prayer_n will_v some_o say_v that_o be_v true_a for_o prayer_n be_v a_o special_a fruit_n of_o faith_n the_o lively_a faith_n do_v bring_v forth_o true_a prayer_n and_o if_o the_o prayer_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n it_o can_v help_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o satan_n faith_n send_v up_o prayer_n yea_o with_o fast_v strong_a prayer_n which_o draw_v down_o the_o power_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o which_o shield_v and_o defend_v we_o from_o the_o rage_n of_o the_o fiend_n all_o other_o mean_n that_o have_v be_v devise_v to_o put_v devil_n to_o flight_n be_v vain_a and_o frivolous_a yea_o mere_a illusion_n of_o satan_n own_o devise_v which_o wicked_o deface_v the_o power_n of_o god_n for_o when_o man_n can_v resist_v by_o faith_n then_o do_v they_o fly_v unto_o those_o other_o mean_v as_o more_o sure_a woeful_a be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n in_o this_o thing_n that_o when_o man_n will_v not_o learn_v of_o god_n to_o resist_v the_o devil_n they_o learn_v at_o the_o devil_n himself_o but_o that_o this_o thing_n may_v be_v more_o evident_a we_o be_v to_o see_v how_o many_o way_n the_o devil_n seek_v to_o devour_v us._n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v in_o particular_n see_v those_o way_n by_o which_o the_o devil_n devour_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n for_o who_o be_v able_a so_o to_o express_v they_o sure_o not_o any_o mortal_a man_n for_o he_o have_v manifold_a sleight_n subtlety_n and_o craft_n yea_o even_o ten_o thousand_o devise_n of_o all_o sort_n to_o snare_n and_o to_o entrap_v the_o soul_n withal_o he_o have_v also_o his_o force_n and_o fiery_a dart_n of_o terror_n to_o wound_n withal_o it_o be_v no_o deal_n in_o particular_n but_o to_o be_v arm_v strong_o to_o resist_v he_o howsoever_o he_o come_v my_o purpose_n therefore_o be_v but_o to_o touch_v certain_a general_a head_n which_o contain_v the_o rest_n so_o that_o this_o cruel_a adversary_n this_o roar_a lion_n the_o devil_n may_v catch_v the_o prey_n &_o devour_v it_o he_o care_v not_o which_o way_n it_o be_v for_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o if_o he_o may_v carry_v soul_n to_o hell_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o several_a state_n and_o condition_n that_o man_n be_v in_o he_o frame_v himself_o to_o set_v upon_o they_o there_o be_v no_o man_n i_o suppose_v which_o will_v make_v any_o doubt_n that_o the_o devil_n covet_v to_o plunge_v all_o man_n as_o deep_a as_o he_o can_v into_o all_o evil_a but_o according_a as_o man_n be_v apt_a and_o inclive_v he_o be_v fain_o to_o deal_v as_o he_o may_v with_o some_o one_o way_n with_o some_o another_o such_o as_o be_v ignorant_a &_o in_o darkness_n with_o they_o he_o deal_v that_o he_o may_v keep_v the_o pure_a clear_a and_o heavenly_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n out_o of_o their_o heart_n &_o so_o hold_v they_o still_o under_o the_o power_n and_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n touch_v these_o saint_n paul_n say_v if_o our_o gospel_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v hide_v to_o those_o that_o perish_v in_o who_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v the_o mind_n even_o of_o the_o infidel_n lest_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n shall_v shine_v unto_o they_o which_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n 2._o cor._n 4._o vers_fw-la 3.4_o to_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v this_o enemy_n use_v special_a mean_n by_o which_o he_o may_v diffame_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o as_o a_o doctrine_n not_o to_o be_v suffer_v

while_n the_o holy_a apostle_n be_v alive_a upon_o the_o earth_n as_o we_o read_v how_o the_o false_a apostle_n do_v seek_v almost_o every_o where_o to_o pull_v down_o that_o which_o s_n paul_n have_v build_v s._n john_n in_o the_o revelation_n mention_v the_o nicholaitane_n and_o a_o woman_n which_o say_v she_o be_v a_o prophetess_n that_o teach_v &_o seduce_v the_o seruamt_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o may_v commit_v fornication_n and_o eat_v of_o thing_n offer_v unto_o idol_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v that_o in_o his_o time_n there_o be_v many_o antichrist_n for_o so_o he_o

lion_n do_v seek_v continual_o for_o to_o swallow_v we_o up_o so_o if_o we_o seek_v so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v arm_v with_o a_o steadfast_a faith_n we_o attain_v to_o that_o estate_n out_o of_o which_o we_o can_v never_o be_v cast_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v the_o devil_n can_v never_o overcome_v a_o steadfast_a faith_n obtain_v that_o and_o you_o be_v sure_a to_o stand_v to_o the_o end_n belove_a we_o be_v not_o then_o to_o labour_v only_o for_o faith_n but_o if_o we_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o overcome_v the_o devil_n and_o to_o stand_v to_o the_o end_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o obtain_v a_o steadfast_a faith_n but_o how_o can_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o this_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o warrant_v man_n that_o they_o shall_v get_v the_o victory_n

apostle_n say_v if_o you_o do_v these_o thing_n you_o shall_v never_o fall_v do_v not_o they_o fall_v which_o loose_a the_o faith_n or_o in_o who_o it_o be_v whole_o quench_v christ_n reign_v in_o all_o those_o which_o have_v the_o lively_a faith_n and_o if_o his_o kingdom_n may_v be_v break_v down_o again_o where_o it_o once_o take_v place_n how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v in_o every_o respect_n to_o be_v eternal_a now_o to_o join_v these_o two_o place_n together_o that_o man_n have_v the_o steadfast_a faith_n whereby_o he_o do_v resist_v the_o devil_n which_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o s._n peter_n mention_v and_o thereby_o be_v sure_o he_o be_v call_v and_o choose_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o fall_v he_o be_v firm_a &_o steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n which_o come_v unto_o this_o and_o such_o as_o have_v proceed_v no_o further_o in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o fruitful_a faith_n but_o that_o they_o be_v still_o uncertain_a whether_o they_o shall_v stand_v to_o the_o end_n how_o can_v they_o be_v say_v to_o resist_v the_o devil_n steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n when_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o shield_n of_o faith_n do_v quench_v all_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n it_o be_v to_o give_v courage_n and_o comfort_n that_o such_o as_o have_v once_o get_v that_o shield_n shall_v never_o be_v overcome_v for_o if_o the_o faith_n be_v overcome_v than_o it_o do_v not_o quench_v they_o all_o the_o like_a courage_n and_o comfort_n saint_n peter_n do_v here_o minister_v by_o show_v that_o be_v steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n satan_n be_v resist_v where_o a_o man_n be_v sure_a to_o get_v the_o victory_n how_o valiant_o he_o do_v fight_v what_o assault_n he_o will_v endure_v and_o with_o what_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n of_o mind_n but_o if_o the_o
