let_v our_o armour_n be_v always_o in_o readiness_n for_o the_o place_n wherein_o we_o be_v which_o be_v the_o church_n be_v militant_a our_o call_n military_a not_o one_o minute_n can_v plead_v a_o

will_v fall_v upon_o we_o we_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o be_v well_o provide_v thus_o be_v it_o with_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o excellent_a the_o one_o be_v then_o the_o other_o &_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o puissant_a and_o powerful_a the_o spiritual_a enemy_n be_v then_o the_o corporal_a by_o so_o much_o the_o high_a it_o concern_v we_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n now_o that_o we_o may_v quit_v ourselves_o like_o heavenly_a warrior_n let_v we_o have_v these_o four_o weapon_n always_o in_o readiness_n first_o knowledge_n this_o be_v like_a unto_o sampsons_n eye_n who_o for_o the_o want_n of_o they_o can_v not_o find_v the_o pillar_n of_o the_o house_n no_o more_o can_v we_o the_o principle_n of_o faith_n unless_o knowledge_n guide_v we_o for_o without_o this_o we_o will_v oft_o foil_v our_o friend_n when_o we_o shall_v wound_v our_o foe_n and_o range_v beyond_o our_o rank_n when_o we_o shall_v keep_v within_o our_o file_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o paul_n before_o he_o do_v receive_v christ_n press-money_n through_o ignorance_n he_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o peter_n on_o the_o same_o ground_n do_v promise_v what_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v without_o knowledge_n the_o mind_n be_v not_o good_a and_o blind_a man_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o fight_v except_o under_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v labour_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o be_v arm_v with_o knowledge_n 2_o courage_n what_o heroical_a spirit_n have_v that_o man_n need_v to_o have_v who_o be_v to_o wrestle_v with_o principality_n and_o power_n with_o a_o heavy_a burden_n of_o sin_n and_o strong_a body_n of_o corruption_n he_o have_v not_o need_v to_o be_v a_o pul_a babe_n affright_v with_o the_o power_n of_o his_o adversary_n but_o as_o little_a david_n be_v not_o dismay_v either_o at_o the_o threat_n of_o his_o enemy_n that_o great_a giant_n at_o gath_n or_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o look_n or_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o hand_n but_o do_v with_o the_o great_a valour_n overcome_v he_o so_o must_v we_o do_v arm_v ourselves_o against_o satan_n force_n not_o fly_v back_o when_o he_o seek_v to_o assault_v we_o but_o meet_v he_o most_o stout_o oppose_v courageous_o both_o his_o power_n and_o policy_n until_o we_o have_v win_v the_o victory_n who_o otherwise_o will_v have_v prevayl_v have_v we_o not_o be_v arm_v with_o courage_n 3_o love_n this_o weapon_n will_v stir_v up_o our_o spirit_n and_o add_v life_n unto_o all_o our_o action_n when_o we_o ourselves_o grow_v feeble_a and_o weak_a the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v of_o a_o last_a nature_n that_o when_o all_o other_o weapon_n fail_v yet_o this_o will_v endure_v let_v satan_n be_v enrage_v never_o so_o much_o against_o we_o and_o raise_v up_o his_o instrument_n to_o molest_v and_o hurt_v we_o yet_o love_n will_v make_v we_o stand_v to_o our_o ground_n resist_v unto_o blood_n and_o though_o death_n itself_o surprise_n we_o as_o the_o strong_a dart_n yet_o love_v to_o our_o captain_n the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v take_v away_o her_o sting_n so_o that_o our_o enemy_n can_v mortal_o wound_v we_o they_o may_v only_o bruise_v we_o in_o the_o heel_n they_o shall_v never_o break_v our_o head_n nor_o give_v we_o a_o deadly_a stroke_n 4_o power_n the_o prophet_n david_n be_v a_o old_a soldier_n pray_v for_o it_o psalm_n 51.2_o s._n paul_n a_o worthy_a warrior_n often_o commend_v it_o eph._n 6.10_o a_o christian_n shall_v be_v like_o that_o leviathan_n job_n speak_v of_o 4●_n job._n 4●_n his_o heart_n firm_a as_o stone_n his_o bone_n as_o brass_n he_o account_v iron_n as_o straw_n and_o esteem_v steel_n as_o stubble_n no_o arrow_n can_v make_v he_o flee_v nor_o spear_n turn_v he_o from_o the_o battle_n want_v of_o power_n make_v we_o a_o prey_n to_o our_o enemy_n and_o then_o we_o be_v most_o in_o danger_n to_o loose_v the_o field_n when_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o fight_v let_v we_o be_v arm_v therefore_o with_o power_n he_o that_o have_v knowledge_n without_o power_n be_v like_o a_o soldier_n that_o have_v his_o eye_n but_o want_v his_o arm_n he_o that_o have_v knowledge_n and_o power_n be_v like_o a_o soldier_n that_o have_v his_o eye_n and_o arm_n but_o without_o courage_n want_v his_o heart_n he_o that_o have_v knowledge_n power_n and_o courage_n be_v like_o a_o soldier_n that_o have_v his_o eye_n his_o arm_n his_o heart_n yet_o without_o love_n he_o lack_v his_o limb_n for_o power_n can_v war_v but_o without_o courage_n dare_v not_o power_n courage_n can_v and_o dare_v but_o without_o love_n will_v not_o power_n courage_n love_n can_v dare_v and_o will_v yet_o if_o knowledge_n direct_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o good_a event_n in_o the_o combat_n wherefore_o get_v knowledge_n
