ought_v to_o live_v it_o be_v not_o then_o this_o kind_n of_o faith_n that_o our_o text_n so_o high_o praise_v as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o world_n it_o must_v be_v a_o generous_a and_o warlike_a faith_n and_o not_o a_o base_a cowardly_a deject_a faith_n which_o have_v no_o courage_n neither_o to_o undertake_v nor_o to_o maintain_v any_o thing_n scripture_n and_o divinity_n tell_v we_o of_o another_o kind_n of_o faith_n quite_o opposite_a they_o call_v it_o a_o lively_a faith_n perfect_a or_o form_v which_o beside_o that_o it_o at_o first_o convince_v the_o understanding_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o reveal_v truth_n persuade_v the_o will_n to_o approve_v they_o by_o sentiment_n conformable_a to_o such_o holy_a motion_n it_o be_v what_o jesus_n christ_n say_v of_o st._n john_n baptist_n a_o burn_a and_o a_o shine_a lamp_n shine_v because_o it_o bring_v light_a and_o knowledge_n to_o the_o mind_n burn_v because_o it_o bring_v fire_n and_o piety_n to_o the_o heart_n of_o that_o the_o prophet_n habakkuk_n say_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o faith_n as_o st._n paul_n expound_v it_o rom._n 1.17_o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v again_o of_o it_o in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v and_o particular_o in_o chap_n 3._o ver_fw-la 28._o where_o he_o say_v it_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o all_o christian_n that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n he_o say_v as_o much_o of_o it_o almost_o in_o the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o five_o chapter_n and_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n and_o in_o all_o his_o other_o epistle_n st._n peter_n say_v no_o less_o of_o it_o when_o he_o assure_v the_o gentile_n act_n 19_o that_o god_n have_v purify_v their_o heart_n by_o faith_n and_o in_o his_o 1_o epist_n 1.8_o you_o be_v preserve_v say_v he_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v heir_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o faith_n as_o he_o say_v present_o after_o ver_fw-la 9_o and_o certain_o it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n st._n judas_n in_o his_o catholic_a epistle_n ver_fw-la 20._o call_v most_o holy_a not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v the_o formal_a holiness_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o because_o that_o as_o divine_v expound_v it_o it_o fulfil_v all_o duty_n of_o holiness_n by_o a_o entire_a obedience_n to_o the_o ordinance_n and_o command_n of_o god_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o divine_n to_o call_v it_o sometime_o a_o obedient_a faith_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v of_o this_o faith_n that_o our_o text_n speak_v when_o it_o say_v that_o the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o world_n be_v faith_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o enough_o christian_n to_o show_v you_o that_o all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o that_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n it_o overcome_v it_o be_v needful_a that_o i_o tell_v you_o moreover_o by_o what_o faith_n for_o we_o be_v not_o without_o enemy_n that_o accuse_v we_o of_o give_v to_o faith_n alone_o without_o join_v it_o with_o other_o virtue_n this_o victorious_a power_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v too_o many_o soul_n among_o we_o either_o libertine_n enough_o or_o ill_o enough_o instruct_v to_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o need_v nothing_o but_o believe_v to_o overcome_v all_o and_o to_o be_v save_v if_o they_o have_v not_o such_o thought_n assure_o we_o shall_v see_v they_o live_v better_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o lead_v so_o ill_a a_o life_n if_o they_o do_v believe_v that_o they_o must_v lead_v a_o better_a if_o they_o will_v be_v save_v let_v our_o enemy_n and_o our_o libertine_n and_o our_o ignorant_n learn_v then_o this_o day_n what_o we_o think_v and_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v of_o faith_n which_o justify_v or_o as_o our_o text_n speak_v which_o overcome_v the_o world_n the_o true_a sentiment_n of_o all_o reform_a church_n be_v that_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o only_o a_o naked_a and_o barren_a belief_n which_o acknowledge_v and_o confess_v only_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o mystery_n without_o trouble_v one_o self_n to_o practice_v that_o piety_n which_o these_o mystery_n require_v but_o they_o all_o teach_v we_o that_o this_o faith_n be_v accompany_v with_o all_o the_o holiness_n which_o the_o gospel_n enjoin_v we_o so_o that_o faith_n according_a to_o our_o doctrine_n be_v uncapable_a to_o justify_v we_o and_o to_o overcome_v the_o world_n if_o charity_n be_v not_o with_o it_o and_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a that_o i_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n if_o i_o love_v he_o not_o and_o if_o i_o do_v not_o that_o which_o his_o gospel_n ordain_v i_o to_o do_v thus_o when_o we_o say_v with_o the_o scripture_n that_o faith_n justify_v that_o it_o cleanse_v the_o heart_n that_o it_o overcome_v the_o world_n we_o speak_v not_o but_o of_o a_o faith_n that_o be_v love_v patient_a humble_a and_o holy_a in_o all_o respect_n it_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n that_o all_o the_o father_n speak_v of_o it_o and_o st._n john_n himself_o in_o the_o text_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o verse_n that_o go_v before_o and_o that_o follow_v for_o though_o he_o say_v absolute_o that_o those_o who_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n overcome_v the_o world_n yet_o he_o speak_v before_o and_o after_o of_o charity_n and_o of_o keep_v god_n commandment_n as_o thing_n inseparable_o link_v with_o this_o victorious_a faith_n you_o see_v then_o christian_n what_o that_o faith_n be_v which_o overcome_v the_o world_n in_o the_o just_a it_o be_v that_o impenetrable_a buckler_n that_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o that_o beat_v back_o all_o the_o blow_n which_o the_o enemy_n aim_v at_o we_o a_o man_n arm_v with_o this_o faith_n may_v say_v with_o the_o apostle_n that_o what_o temptation_n soever_o he_o shall_v endure_v no_o assault_n shall_v separate_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nothing_o shall_v debauch_v he_o from_o his_o duty_n nothing_o shall_v make_v he_o the_o slave_n of_o sin_n let_v the_o world_n come_v with_o all_o its_o force_n with_o all_o the_o sweet_n of_o pleasure_n with_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o interest_n with_o all_o the_o pom●s_n of_o ambition_n it_o will_v make_v but_o vain_a enterprise_n unsuccessful_a assault_n upon_o a_o man_n arm_v with_o this_o warlike_a and_o generous_a faith_n for_o what_o can_v pleasure_n say_v to_o he_o able_a to_o corrupt_v he_o if_o she_o promise_v to_o his_o body_n all_o she_o have_v of_o tender_a and_o sweet_a what_o will_v the_o just_a do_v in_o this_o rough_a assault_n where_o he_o have_v all_o pleasure_n to_o fight_v against_o he_o will_v oppose_v his_o faith_n i_o believe_v in_o that_o god_n will_v he_o say_v who_o will_v not_o live_v but_o in_o penance_n while_o he_o live_v among_o we_o always_o severe_a to_o his_o flesh_n always_o mortify_v in_o his_o mind_n never_o in_o pleasure_n and_o almost_o continual_o in_o grief_n who_o find_v in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o death_n nothing_o but_o gall_n and_o vinegar_n to_o sweeten_v it_o what!_o shall_v i_o believe_v these_o thing_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n abandon_v myself_o to_o those_o guilty_a pleasure_n no_o i_o will_v not_o the_o assault_n of_o interest_n need_v no_o less_o resolution_n and_o resistance_n they_o solicit_v the_o faithful_a soul_n with_o all_o the_o persuasion_n that_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v able_a to_o make_v in_o this_o world_n be_v press_v by_o this_o assault_n what_o do_v he_o he_o take_v his_o ordinary_a shield_n he_o oppose_v his_o faith_n o_o say_v he_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n make_v himself_o poor_a to_o make_v i_o rich_a that_o he_o will_v not_o possess_v any_o thing_n on_o earth_n that_o at_o his_o birth_n he_o have_v nothing_o but_o straw_n to_o lie_v upon_o that_o during_o his_o life_n he_o have_v nothing_o whereon_o to_o lay_v his_o head_n that_o at_o his_o death_n he_o be_v naked_a and_o shall_v i_o to_o make_v myself_o rich_a do_v this_o injustice_n shall_v ay_o suffer_v myself_o to_o be_v corrupt_v by_o my_o interest_n no_o i_o will_v not_o neither_o shall_v ambition_n have_v any_o more_o advantage_n over_o the_o faithful_a soul_n how_o violent_o soever_o it_o assault_v he_o methinks_v i_o see_v ambition_n with_o her_o glister_a and_o her_o pomp_n tempt_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o just_a flatter_v he_o with_o all_o her_o splendour_n and_o grandeur_n which_o use_v to_o dazzle_v other_o what_o will_v he_o do_v in_o this_o assault_n that_o which_o he_o do_v in_o the_o former_a he_o will_v take_v faith_n and_o oppose_v it_o against_o this_o enemy_n that_o press_v he_o what!_o say_v he_o that_o god_n in_o who_o i_o believe_v who_o abase_v himself_o so_o far_o as_o to_o become_v man_n do_v humble_v himself_o to_o the_o mean_a thing_n even_o to_o death_n to_o the_o most_o shameful_a and_o infamous_a death_n and_o shall_v i_o advance_v myself_o by_o the_o diminution_n of_o his_o glory_n shall_v i_o drive_v on_o my_o fortune_n as_o far_o as_o vanity_n will_v entice_v i_o no_o i_o will_v not_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v say_v that_o my_o life_n have_v belie_v my_o faith_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v eternal_a reward_n to_o crown_v all_o my_o fidelity_n if_o i_o sink_v not_o under_o these_o temptation_n that_o the_o world_n

thus_o it_o be_v that_o she_o fight_v thus_o it_o be_v that_o she_o triumph_v when_o she_o be_v right_a when_o faith_n be_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v animate_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o
