the_o combat_n with_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n if_o we_o resist_v satan_n he_o will_v fly_v from_o we_o jam._n 4.7_o but_o if_o we_o give_v ground_n and_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o flight_n he_o will_v pursue_v we_o swift_o and_o deadly_a wound_n we_o for_o we_o have_v no_o armour_n on_o the_o back_n to_o defend_v we_o from_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o blow_n neither_o will_n the_o lord_n

the_o lord_n standard_n where_o can_v we_o be_v more_o honourable_o employ_v then_o in_o fight_v his_o battle_n how_o can_v our_o state_n be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o when_o we_o fly_v and_o satan_n

and_o worldly_a thing_n because_o we_o be_v but_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n here_o on_o earth_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n in_o time_n of_o old_a of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o confess_v they_o be_v pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n on_o the_o earth_n heb._n 11.13_o the_o which_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o scripture_n so_o it_o be_v demonstrate_v by_o evident_a reason_n for_o that_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v a_o man_n country_n where_o his_o chief_a friend_n and_o kindred_n remain_v where_o his_o live_n and_o

there_o be_v their_o chief_a treasure_n even_o a_o inheritance_n undefiled_a that_o fade_v not_o away_o final_o there_o they_o have_v best_a entertainment_n and_o most_o contentment_n because_o

from_o this_o consideration_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o country_n but_o remain_v upon_o the_o earth_n as_o pilgrim_n

and_o stranger_n shall_v serve_v as_o a_o effectual_a reason_n to_o wean_v our_o heart_n from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a vanity_n and_o to_o place_v they_o in_o heaven_n and_o only_o in_o heavenly_a joy_n which_o be_v our_o country_n and_o place_n of_o residence_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v pilgrim_n on_o earth_n we_o must_v follow_v their_o practice_n and_o not_o set_v our_o heart_n on_o worldly_a thing_n because_o the_o time_n we_o have_v to_o enjoy_v they_o be_v very_o short_a let_v he_o that_o have_v enjoy_v worldly_a prosperity_n the_o long_a time_n look_v

if_o we_o will_v thus_o estéem_v of_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a vanity_n learn_v then_o of_o the_o apostle_n to_o use_v they_o as_o though_o we_o use_v they_o not_o not_o as_o place_n to_o rest_v in_o or_o thing_n wherein_o we_o take_v our_o chief_a repose_n but_o as_o a_o way_n to_o travel_v in_o and_o as_o necessary_n to_o further_o we_o in_o our_o journey_n who_o will_v seat_v his_o heart_n

the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o imitate_v the_o eagle_n which_o seldom_o light_v on_o the_o earth_n but_o when_o constrain_v with_o hunger_n she_o stoop_v to_o
