not_o to_o addict_v yourselves_o to_o the_o sin_n of_o those_o person_n who_o you_o fight_v against_o how_o absurd_a and_o unaccountable_a be_v it_o think_v you_o that_o when_o we_o have_v proclaim_v war_n against_o a_o neighbour_a nation_n and_o even_o whilst_o we_o be_v fight_v they_o and_o hope_v to_o get_v the_o better_a of_o they_o yet_o we_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n conquer_a by_o their_o vice_n we_o treat_v they_o as_o loathe_a enemy_n and_o yet_o be_v in_o love_n with_o their_o folly_n and_o dote_v upon_o their_o vanity_n and_o excess_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o we_o must_v take_v another_o course_n before_o we_o can_v look_v for_o success_n and_o victory_n if_o we_o will_v have_v this_o declare_v itself_o on_o our_o side_n and_o even_o fling_v itself_o into_o our_o arm_n we_o must_v make_v sure_a of_o the_o conquest_n over_o the_o disorder_n and_o vice_n of_o those_o we_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o brief_o we_o must_v examine_v our_o life_n and_o manner_n and_o whatever_o we_o discern_v to_o be_v amiss_o in_o we_o must_v be_v forsake_v we_o must_v first_o vanquish_v all_o our_o lust_n and_o then_o we_o may_v with_o some_o confidence_n engage_v the_o adversary_n we_o may_v hope_v for_o success_n against_o our_o bodily_a enemy_n when_o we_o have_v subdue_v our_o spiritual_a one_o what_o you_o read_v of_o jonas_n may_v be_v a_o good_a emblem_n to_o we_o in_o this_o present_a affair_n he_o be_v in_o rebellion_n against_o god_n and_o be_v become_v a_o great_a sinner_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n as_o himself_o say_v a_o great_a tempest_n arise_v at_o sea_n and_o exceed_o endanger_v the_o ship_n wherein_o he_o be_v there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o allay_v this_o tempest_n and_o save_v the_o ship_n but_o by_o take_v up_o jonas_n and_o cast_v he_o forth_o into_o the_o sea_n then_o the_o sea_n cease_v from_o her_o rage_a it_o be_v sin_n that_o raise_v the_o tempest_n of_o war_n among_o we_o they_o be_v sinner_n especial_o such_o as_o lie_v fast_o asleep_a as_o jonas_n do_v that_o endanger_v the_o common_a vessel_n wherein_o we_o be_v embark_a we_o shall_v all_o sink_v and_o be_v cast_v away_o unless_o the_o troublesome_a jonas_n be_v throw_v overboard_o unless_o sin_n be_v cast_v out_o but_o 3._o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o cast_v away_o your_o sin_n to_o abstain_v from_o those_o vice_n which_o you_o former_o commit_v but_o you_o must_v betake_v yourselves_o to_o the_o serious_a practice_n of_o all_o holiness_n the_o first_o thing_n you_o be_v to_o do_v be_v to_o give_v yourselves_o unto_o prayer_n this_o be_v a_o proper_a duty_n at_o this_o time_n and_o be_v commend_v to_o we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o 5._o moses_n samuel_n king_n asa_n jehosaphat_n and_o hezekiah_n who_o prayer_n on_o this_o occasion_n be_v record_v let_v god_n arise_v and_o let_v his_o enemy_n be_v scatter_v be_v the_o usual_a form_n of_o prayer_n or_o collect_v which_o the_o israelite_n use_v in_o their_o march_n against_o their_o enemy_n and_o we_o read_v that_o there_o be_v 14._o priest_n among_o they_o that_o wait_v on_o the_o war_n person_n set_v apart_o on_o purpose_n to_o go_v forth_o with_o their_o army_n and_o pray_v with_o they_o upon_o any_o expedition_n yea_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o be_v a_o part_n even_o of_o natural_a religion_n the_o pagan_n invoke_v their_o god_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n when_o they_o go_v forth_o to_o battle_n thus_o it_o be_v particular_o record_v of_o cyrus_n that_o 6._o he_o very_o earnest_o implore_v their_o help_n in_o his_o war_n but_o the_o greek_n and_o roman_n be_v the_o most_o note_a for_o this_o and_o therefore_o both_o 40._o tertullian_n and_o 1._o lactantius_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o special_a address_n make_v to_o the_o god_n by_o those_o people_n in_o time_n of_o war._n scipio_n that_o great_a thunderbolt_n of_o war_n be_v a_o example_n of_o this_o among_o the_o roman_n as_o 27._o livy_n testify_v he_o endeavour_v to_o render_v the_o god_n favourable_a and_o propitious_a to_o he_o in_o battle_n by_o his_o importunate_a supplication_n to_o they_o and_o there_o be_v other_o notable_a instance_n not_o only_o in_o this_o historian_n but_o in_o etc._n other_o they_o general_o acknowledge_v that_o their_o help_n be_v in_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v the_o god_n on_o their_o side_n if_o they_o hope_v for_o success_n in_o battle_n the_o very_a proclaim_v of_o war_n among_o the_o old_a roman_n be_v in_o a_o religious_a and_o devout_a manner_n it_o be_v accompany_v with_o a_o solemn_a invoke_v of_o their_o god_n and_o with_o ceremony_n of_o divine_a worship_n the_o herald_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o priest_n it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o prince_n of_o poet_n throughout_o his_o whole_a iliad_n make_v his_o commander_n invoke_v jupiter_n before_o they_o undertake_v any_o warlike_a enterprise_n yea_o there_o be_v not_o any_o single_a person_n but_o crave_v his_o aid_n immediate_o before_o he_o engage_v his_o particular_a adversary_n hereby_o this_o ancient_n sage_n will_v give_v the_o world_n to_o understand_v that_o pray_v and_o fight_v be_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v shall_v the_o christian_a world_n then_o fall_v short_a of_o pagan_n in_o this_o religious_a practice_n shall_v we_o not_o with_o most_o ardent_a zeal_n beseech_v the_o almighty_a to_o bless_v our_o arm_n with_o success_n do_v the_o turk_n begin_v their_o march_n and_o make_v their_o onset_n in_o battle_n with_o a_o loud_a cry_n of_o allah_n allah_n allah_n i.e._n they_o thrice_o repeat_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v not_o christian_n devout_o supplicate_v their_o jehovah_n sabaoth_n their_o lord_n of_o host_n their_o sacred_a and_o undivided_a trinity_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n yes_o this_o we_o find_v to_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a course_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n nobiscum_fw-la be_v the_o word_n use_v among_o the_o christian_n of_o old_a in_o their_o military_a clamour_n when_o they_o be_v to_o engage_v the_o enemy_n they_o all_o out_o of_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o god_n presence_n with_o they_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n juliani_n if_o god_n be_v for_o we_o who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o unanimous_o cry_v out_o god_n with_o we_o and_o for_o we_o for_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o nobiscum_fw-la as_o you_o will_v find_v it_o theophan_v interpret_v there_o be_v solemn_a prayer_n on_o the_o occasion_n of_o war_n in_o all_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o the_o christian_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v now_o the_o gate_n of_o our_o temple_n like_o those_o of_o ianus_n must_v stand_v open_a in_o these_o time_n of_o war._n whilst_o so_o many_o among_o we_o be_v belch_a out_o oath_n and_o curse_n do_v you_o strive_v to_o call_v down_o a_o blessing_n by_o your_o devout_a petition_n and_o address_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n drown_v the_o noise_n of_o their_o profane_a swear_v and_o blasphemy_n by_o your_o loud_a and_o sacred_a cry_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n let_v your_o supplication_n be_v as_o prevalent_a and_o successful_a as_o those_o of_o the_o christian_n of_o old_a who_o be_v style_v the_o thunder_a legion_n who_o procure_v relief_n to_o themselves_o and_o a_o defeat_n to_o their_o enemy_n by_o their_o urgent_a and_o incessant_a cry_n to_o heaven_n see_v then_o that_o you_o be_v very_o warm_a in_o your_o address_n urge_v and_o solicit_v the_o divine_a goodness_n by_o your_o continue_a application_n god_n may_v be_v please_v to_o give_v that_o to_o our_o prayer_n which_o he_o deny_v to_o our_o courage_n we_o may_v prevail_v more_o by_o our_o humble_a petition_n than_o by_o our_o valorous_a
