all_o concentre_v now_o of_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n the_o proper_a character_n be_v that_o they_o be_v as_o bold_a as_o a_o lion_n which_o word_n do_v not_o import_v every_o good_a man_n to_o be_v actual_o a_o cordelion_n to_o be_v as_o bold_a and_o stouthearted_a as_o that_o courageous_a animal_n be_v before_o who_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o forest_n do_v tremble_v for_o as_o some_o bad_a man_n be_v valiant_a by_o nature_n so_o be_v some_o good_a timorous_a and_o fainthearted_a and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o cure_v by_o discipline_n that_o which_o be_v the_o natural_a defect_n of_o constitution_n this_o expression_n therefore_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o the_o same_o mitigate_v sense_n as_o the_o former_a the_o righteous_a be_v bold_a i._n e._n their_o righteousness_n tend_v to_o make_v they_o so_o it_o have_v such_o a_o animate_v virtue_n in_o it_o as_o will_v if_o it_o be_v not_o overpower_v by_o a_o invincible_a timorousness_n of_o temper_n convert_v a_o poultroon_n into_o a_o hero_n and_o embolden_v the_o mean_a spirit_v to_o confront_v the_o grim_a danger_n and_o charge_v it_o with_o a_o undaunted_a resolution_n for_o thus_o the_o scripture_n usual_o speak_v of_o man_n as_o if_o they_o actual_o be_v what_o they_o have_v great_a cause_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v thus_o in_o isa._n lvii_o 20._o the_o wicked_a be_v like_o the_o trouble_a sea_n when_o it_o can_v rest_v who_o water_n cast_v up_o mire_n and_o dirt_n i._n e._n they_o be_v continual_o agitate_a with_o their_o own_o restless_a thought_n just_a like_o the_o sea_n with_o its_o reciprocal_a tide_n not_o that_o this_o be_v always_o actual_o their_o condition_n but_o that_o they_o have_v always_o just_a reason_n to_o be_v so_o so_o prov._n xuj_o 3._o righteous_a lip_n be_v the_o delight_n of_o king_n and_o they_o love_v he_o that_o speak_v right_a which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v so_o understand_v as_o if_o in_o fact_n it_o be_v always_o so_o for_o experience_n too_o often_o evince_v the_o contrary_a but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o king_n above_o all_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o delight_v in_o man_n of_o truth_n and_o honesty_n and_o fidelity_n and_o so_o in_o the_o text_n the_o wicked_a flee_v when_o no_o man_n pursue_v that_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v timorous_a for_o he_o have_v all_o the_o moral_a cause_n of_o baseness_n and_o cowardice_n within_o his_o breast_n but_o the_o righteous_a be_v bold_a as_o a_o lion_n i._n e._n he_o have_v reason_n to_o be_v so_o his_o mind_n be_v inspire_v with_o the_o most_o pregnant_a principle_n of_o a_o brave_a and_o undaunted_a resolution_n the_o word_n be_v thus_o explain_v the_o sense_n of_o they_o resolve_v into_o this_o proposition_n that_o wickedness_n natural_o tend_v to_o dishearten_v and_o cowardice_n man_n but_o righteousness_n and_o goodness_n to_o encourage_v and_o embolden_v they_o the_o truth_n of_o which_o i_o may_v easy_o demonstrate_v by_o a_o induction_n of_o particular_n be_v it_o proper_a to_o draw_v a_o list_n of_o those_o ancient_a hero_n who_o name_n be_v renown_v in_o the_o memoires_n of_o fame_n the_o great_a part_n of_o who_o be_v as_o illustrious_a for_o their_o piety_n and_o goodness_n as_o for_o their_o valour_n and_o great_a achievement_n and_o who_o as_o the_o historian_n observe_v of_o the_o ancient_a roman_n conquer_v much_o more_o by_o the_o charm_n of_o their_o virtue_n than_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o their_o sword_n but_o i_o be_o not_o at_o leisure_n to_o tell_v story_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o argument_n in_o hand_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v to_o represent_v to_o you_o what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o do_v natural_o contribute_v to_o the_o make_v man_n courageous_a and_o to_o show_v you_o that_o they_o be_v all_o to_o be_v find_v in_o righteousness_n and_o their_o contrary_n in_o wickedness_n which_o if_o i_o can_v make_v good_a i_o doubt_v not_o will_v abundant_o convince_v you_o that_o the_o best_a way_n to_o be_v good_a soldier_n be_v to_o be_v good_a man_n and_o that_o though_o you_o may_v furnish_v yourselves_o with_o art_n and_o conduct_n in_o the_o field_n yet_o you_o can_v never_o acquire_v true_a courage_n and_o bravery_n till_o you_o have_v be_v train_v and_o exercise_v under_o the_o banner_n of_o jesus_n now_o to_o make_v man_n true_o valiant_a and_o courageous_a these_o six_o thing_n be_v necessary_a first_o that_o they_o be_v free_a and_o within_o their_o own_o command_n second_o that_o they_o be_v well_o harden_v to_o endure_v difficulty_n and_o inconvenience_n three_o that_o they_o be_v well_o satisfy_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o action_n and_o undertake_n four_o that_o they_o have_v a_o hopeful_a prospect_n of_o be_v well_o second_v five_o that_o they_o have_v a_o probable_a security_n of_o good_a success_n six_o that_o they_o be_v bear_v up_o with_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o glorious_a reward_n all_o which_o cause_v of_o courage_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o righteousness_n and_o their_o direct_a contrary_n in_o a_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a course_n of_o life_n i._o one_o cause_n that_o very_o much_o contribute_v to_o the_o make_v man_n courageous_a be_v their_o be_v free_a and_o within_o their_o own_o command_n for_o slavery_n natural_o depress_n the_o mind_n and_o by_o accustom_v man_n to_o a_o severe_a and_o rigorous_a treatment_n habituate_v they_o to_o fear_v and_o pusillanimity_n it_o be_v no_o new_a observation_n that_o slave_n be_v general_o coward_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o which_o we_o have_v many_o woeful_a instance_n in_o the_o world_n for_o how_o many_o nation_n be_v there_o who_o be_v heretofore_o renown_v for_o their_o courage_n and_o puissance_n when_o they_o enjoy_v their_o liberty_n and_o property_n under_o gentle_a and_o benign_a government_n that_o be_v now_o utter_o unmanned_v and_o dispirited_a by_o oppression_n and_o slavery_n but_o now_o a_o righteous_a man_n can_v never_o be_v enslave_v because_o he_o have_v get_v the_o victory_n of_o himself_o and_o be_v his_o own_o master_n he_o have_v train_v up_o his_o passion_n to_o a_o severe_a obedience_n to_o his_o reason_n and_o so_o have_v all_o his_o motion_n under_o his_o own_o command_n and_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n at_o least_o in_o a_o good_a measure_n not_o to_o love_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o he_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o love_n not_o to_o desire_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o he_o have_v fair_a hope_n to_o enjoy_v not_o to_o delight_v in_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o possess_v and_o keep_v it_o be_v i_o say_v in_o his_o power_n to_o be_v affect_v as_o he_o please_v and_o to_o regulate_v his_o own_o motion_n according_a as_o he_o think_v fit_a and_o reasonable_a he_o may_v choose_v whether_o he_o will_v be_v a_o coward_n or_o no_o and_o shall_v the_o grim_a danger_n stare_v he_o in_o the_o face_n yet_o suppose_v he_o to_o have_v such_o a_o command_n of_o himself_o as_o not_o to_o desire_v what_o he_o can_v have_v not_o to_o dread_v what_o he_o can_v prevent_v not_o to_o grieve_v and_o vex_v at_o what_o he_o can_v avoid_v he_o may_v throw_v down_o the_o gauntlet_n to_o it_o and_o defy_v it_o to_o do_v its_o worst_a now_o one_o great_a office_n of_o righteousness_n be_v to_o do_v right_a to_o a_o man_n self_n to_o rescue_v he_o from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o reduce_v he_o under_o the_o command_n of_o his_o reason_n and_o the_o more_o successful_a it_o be_v in_o this_o great_a undertake_n the_o more_o valiant_a and_o magnanimous_a it_o must_v necessary_o render_v we_o for_o the_o more_o a_o man_n passion_n be_v subdue_v to_o his_o reason_n the_o more_o presence_n of_o mind_n he_o will_v have_v in_o all_o danger_n and_o difficulty_n and_o the_o more_o able_a his_o reason_n will_v be_v to_o counsel_n and_o advise_v he_o and_o to_o fortify_v his_o heart_n with_o brave_a consideration_n so_o that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v make_v any_o considerable_a progress_n in_o the_o conquest_n of_o himself_o he_o will_v be_v so_o much_o in_o his_o own_o power_n that_o no_o danger_n will_v be_v able_a to_o divide_v he_o from_o himself_o or_o scare_v he_o from_o the_o post_n of_o his_o reason_n and_o while_o death_n be_v whizz_v about_o his_o ear_n and_o blood_n and_o slaughter_n terror_n and_o confusion_n be_v round_o about_o he_o his_o mind_n will_v be_v environ_v with_o invincible_a thought_n and_o guard_v with_o such_o puissant_a consideration_n that_o no_o outward_a force_n will_v be_v able_a to_o approach_v it_o and_o thus_o freedom_n you_o see_v from_o the_o slavery_n of_o passion_n which_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o righteousness_n be_v a_o effectual_a cause_n of_o courage_n and_o magnanimity_n but_o in_o wickedness_n a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o slavery_n
