not_o only_o fill_v their_o purse_n and_o their_o scrip_n but_o they_o must_v provide_v themselves_o too_o of_o weapon_n nay_o they_o who_o have_v no_o sword_n be_v oblige_v to_o sell_v even_o their_o

against_o all_o the_o spiritual_a opposition_n and_o against_o all_o the_o temporal_a hardship_n they_o may_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n this_o perhaps_o may_v have_v be_v the_o figurative_a

spirit_n with_o a_o undaunted_a courage_n and_o readiness_n to_o grapple_v with_o the_o severe_a trial_n and_o to_o surmount_v all_o difficulty_n and_o the_o sword_n here_o in_o my_o text_n may_v possible_o be_v use_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n by_o our_o saviour_n that_o st._n paul_n use_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o shield_n 6._o ephes_n 6._o of_o faith_n the_o helmet_n of_o

i_o see_v no_o absurdity_n or_o false_a doctrine_n in_o take_v the_o text_n in_o the_o more_o obvious_a and_o literal_a signification_n st._n augustine_n i_o be_o sure_a a_o father_n of_o no_o mean_a

sect_n of_o people_n who_o decry_v all_o manner_n of_o use_n of_o secular_a arm_n as_o unjustifiable_a among_o christian_a men._n and_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v st._n peter_n that_o great_a apostle_n

high-priest_n servant_n he_o draw_v his_o sword_n and_o with_o it_o give_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n in_o what_o sense_n he_o take_v the_o word_n nay_o this_o be_v not_o only_a st._n peter_n apprehension_n of_o these_o word_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v of_o all_o the_o apostle_n likewise_o for_o we_o find_v in_o the_o follow_a verse_n their_o joint_a answer_n he_o that_o have_v

however_o thus_o much_o certain_o may_v very_o natural_o and_o very_o agreeable_o too_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v infer_v from_o this_o text_n that_o though_o spiritual_a arm_n be_v

accidental_a injury_n in_o common_a conversation_n although_o the_o first_o method_n of_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v gentle_a and_o peaceable_a and_o the_o same_o method_n ought_v still_o to_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o conservation_n of_o it_o yet_o do_v i_o never_o meet_v with_o any_o so_o very_o spiritualise_v a_o casuist_n that_o carry_v on_o the_o doctrine_n of_o self-resignation_n so_o high_a but_o that_o it_o be_v always_o allow_v that_o when_o private_a man_n life_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o much_o more_o when_o the_o public_a life_n of_o the_o state_n be_v in_o jeopardy_n and_o most_o of_o all_o when_o christianity_n itself_o be_v in_o hazard_n of_o be_v subvert_v or_o corrupt_v that_o then_o the_o free_a use_n of_o all_o mean_n of_o both_o personal_a

doctrine_n of_o humility_n patience_n submission_n forgive_a of_o injury_n forbearance_n of_o revenge_n which_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o much_o press_v upon_o we_o and_o which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a weapon_n of_o our_o warfare_n here_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o still_o the_o armour_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o just_a use_n of_o material_a weapon_n be_v and_o in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n before_o and_o since_o christianity_n be_v lawful_a nay_o at_o some_o time_n and_o in_o some_o condition_n of_o affair_n war_n be_v

up_o iii_o three_o i_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o our_o present_a war_n be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o all_o the_o reason_n and_o argument_n that_o can_v be_v require_v for_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o any_o i._n first_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v the_o warrantableness_n of_o war_n among_o christian_a people_n and_o one_o will_v think_v i_o need_v not_o to_o spend_v much_o time_n in_o make_v good_a that_o universal_a and_o avow_a opinion_n that_o all_o defensive_a and_o offensive_a mean_n of_o safety_n which_o among_o all_o man_n be_v allowable_a be_v equal_o so_o to_o christian_n as_o to_o any_o other_o part_n of_o mankind_n that_o war_n be_v both_o practise_v in_o the_o most_o ancient_a season_n of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o only_o countenance_v but_o direct_v and_o in_o a_o manner_n proclaim_v too_o by_o god_n himself_o be_v a_o thing_n plain_o to_o be_v see_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n moses_n be_v command_v to_o raise_v force_n and_o to_o form_v a_o army_n by_o god_n own_o special_a order_n abraham_n commence_v a_o war_n for_o the_o rescue_n of_o his_o brother_n lot_n and_o many_o other_o instance_n may_v be_v produce_v out_o of_o the_o old_a

as_o much_o establish_v among_o the_o christian_n as_o they_o be_v make_v use_n of_o among_o the_o israelite_n for_o what_o do_v our_o saviour_n intend_v by_o these_o word_n if_o my_o kingdom_n be_v of_o this_o world_n then_o will_v my_o servant_n fight_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o jew_n what_o i_o say_v can_v our_o saviour_n here_o mean_v but_o that_o the_o take_v up_o of_o arm_n at_o some_o exigence_n of_o time_n be_v a_o thing_n not_o only_o practicable_a but_o warrantable_a if_o my_o kingdom_n be_v of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v if_o i_o do_v real_o pretend_v to_o erect_v any_o temporal_a and_o material_a kingdom_n in_o this_o world_n any_o more_o than_o a_o spiritual_a sovereignty_n over_o soul_n then_o as_o it_o be_v customary_a with_o all_o earthly_a
