And Jesus said unto Pilate My Kingdom is not of this World if my Kingdom were of this World then would my Servants fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews but now is my Kingdom not from hence that is of this World John 18.36 Here you may see a distinction betwixt the New Covenant and the Old and the Kingdom of Christ and the Kingdoms of this World and their Arms and Armour G. F. THe Apostle exhorts the Ephesians My Brethren said he be strong in the Lord and in the Power of his Might put on the whole Armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the Wiles of the Devil for we wrestle not against Flesh and Blood but against Principalities Powers and Rulers of Darkness of this World and against spiritual wickedness in high places Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God that you may be able to stand in the Evil day and having done all or overcome all to stand Therefore having your Loyns girded about with Truth and having on the Breast-Plate of Righteousness and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace above all taking the Sheild of Faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the siery Darts of the wicked and take the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and praying always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit Mark in the spirit they are to pray watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the Saints Is not this generally to be practised now by all true Christians as it was in the Apostles dayes And the Apostle saith to the Romans The night is far spent the day is at hand let us therefore cast off the works of Darkness and let us put on the Armour of Light So Light you see is your Armour which will defend you against Darkness and the Prince of the Power of it and their Weapons and all such that hate the Light of Christ and are against it are naked and are without the Light which is the true Armour and you may see what the Saints did do and what Victory they had with the sheild of Faith in Heb. 11. And the Apostle said He was set for the defence of the Gospel which is the Power of God and that was in the Sheild of Faith And David said Thou O Lord art a sheild for me my Glory and the Lifter up of my Head So he is now to all his People And further Thou hast given me the sheild of thy salvation and thy Right Hand hath holden me up and thy gentleness hath made me great All must feel this Sheild of Salvation from God and if they be held up it must be by his Right Hand And again David saith The Lord is my strength and my Shield my Heart trusteth in him and I am helped therefore my hreat greatly rejoyceth and with my Tongue will I praise him This was not an outward Shield but the Lord was his strength and his Shield So God is to all his People in all their Troubles And David said The Lord is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliv●●e● ●y God my strength in whom I will trust my Buckler and the Horn of my Salvation my High Tower Mark a Rock Fortress Deliverer Strength Horn of Salvation High Tower the Lord God was so to David and is so to all his People God's Way is perfect the Word of the Lord is tryed and endures forever and God is a Buckler to all those that trust in him And again saith David The Eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear him c. to deliver their Souls from Death and to keep them alive from Famine And David said plead my Cause O Lord with them that strive with me fight against them that fight against me take hold of Shield and Buckler and stand up for my help c. and stop the way against them that persecute me and say unto my Soul I am thy Salvation Here David lookt unto the Lord his Shield and Buckler and his help to plead his Cause against them that strove and fought against him and so should all Gods People And David saith I will Sing of thy Power yea I will Sing a loud of thy Mercy for thou hast been my Defence and Refuge in the day of my Trouble And therefore let all Gods People now know the Lord to be their Defence and Refuge in time of Trouble And David said The Lord is only my Rock and my Salvation he is my Defence I shall not be greatly moved so he is to all his People David saith Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee they grow from strength every one of them in Sion appear before God Behold O God our Sheild look upon the Face of thine anointed for the Lord God is a Son and a Sheild and the Lord will give Grace and Glory and no good thing will he with-hold from them that walk uprightly he shall cover thee with his Feathers thou shalt not be affraid of the Terrour by night nor for the Pestilence that walketh in Darkness nor for the Destruction that wasteth at the noon day and under the Lords Wings thou shalt trust his Truth shall be thy Sheild and Buckler so no outward Sheild or Buckler but the Lord is my Defence and the Rock of my refuge So he is of all Gods People O! Ye that fear the Lord trust in the Lord he is their help c. their Sheild that trust in him for thou art my hiding-place and my Sheild my hope is in thy Word depart from me ye Evil Doers for I will keep the Commands of my God Here is the bold confidence and steadfastness of all Gods People Blessed be the Lord my Strength my Goodness my Fortress my High-Tower and my Deliverer and my Shield and he in whom I trust c. Here you may see the Lord was all to David who said I know the Lord will maintain the cause of the Afflicted and the Right of the Poor c. Therefore as the Apostle saith to the Thessalonians let us who are of the day be sober putting on the Brest-plate of Faith and Love and for a Helmet the Hope of Salvation This was the Children of Lights heavenly Armour and Defence which they had from God and Christ and not out of Smiths shops for such will not defend them from the Devil G. F. Concerning Cain ANd the Lord God said unto Cain If thou dost well shalt thou not be accepted if thou dost not well sin lies at thy Door and unto thee shall be his desire c. So here you may see it is not only saying or talking well but acting and doing well if they be accepted with the Lord God for if ye talk and say never so well and if ye do not do well but evil sin lies at the Door of your Hearts and gets into your Hearts if ye do evil
