you_o have_v some_o read_v it_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v with_o every_o piece_n of_o armour_n you_o must_v mingle_v faith_n with_o truth_n with_o righteousness_n with_o the_o preparation_n of_o

here_o especial_o that_o be_v to_o say_v above_o all_o thing_n in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n take_v unto_o you_o the_o shield_n of_o faith_n like_o that_o place_n coll._n 3.14_o where_o the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v and_o above_o all_o thing_n but_o on_o charity_n so_o as_o though_o every_o piece_n of_o armour_n be_v very_o considerable_a yet_o none_o like_o the_o shield_n of_o faith_n and_o he_o give_v you_o the_o reason_n because_o by_o it_o you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o quench_v the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o for_o his_o superabundant_a malice_n and_o wickedness_n he_o call_v the_o wicked_a one_o that_o be_v who_o with_o the_o great_a and_o most_o intense_a height_n of_o wickedness_n pursue_v god_n and_o man_n but_o especial_o good_a man_n the_o saint_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o quench_v some_o of_o his_o dart_n only_o but_o all_o his_o dart_n he_o have_v enough_o of_o they_o he_o have_v of_o all_o kind_n this_o shield_n will_v receive_v they_o and_o repel_v they_o all_o he_o tell_v you_o also_o of_o what_o kind_n they_o be_v they_o be_v fieri_fw-la dart_n his_o arrow_n be_v poison_v arrow_n they_o do_v not_o only_o wound_v as_o iron_n and_o

remedy_n a_o arm_n fit_v on_o purpose_n as_o they_o be_v dart_n faith_n as_o a_o shield_n shall_v repel_v they_o as_o they_o be_v poison_v and_o fiery_a faith_n as_o water_n or_o balsam_n or_o oil_n shall_v quench_v by_o faith_n you_o shall_v be_v enable_v to_o quench_v they_o faith_n proper_o as_o a_o shield_n do_v not_o quench_v but_o repel_v but_o faith_n enable_v you_o that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o mighty_a power_n and_o operation_n in_o faith_n do_v that_o which_o nothing_o else_o can_v do_v that_o as_o you_o have_v salve_n proper_o to_o draw_v out_o sting_n or_o thorn_n and_o as_o you_o have_v balsam_n to_o take_v out_o fire_n and_o poison_n to_o quench_v and_o destroy_v the_o malignity_n of_o a_o poison_a dart_n so_o you_o have_v faith_n fit_v and_o proportion_v to_o quench_v the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o wicked_a your_o great_a enemy_n and_o who_o shoot_v continual_o and_o therefore_o be_v they_o call_v all_o his_o fiery_a dart_n he_o want_v not_o ammunition_n he_o need_v not_o fear_v for_o want_v of_o powder_n he_o have_v great_a and_o curse_a ability_n and_o a_o spirit_n fit_v to_o act_v they_o always_o but_o faith_n can_v deal_v with_o he_o and_o render_v all_o his_o darting_n vain_a and_o of_o no_o effect_n you_o see_v now_o the_o full_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n and_o of_o how_o great_a a_o consideration_n faith_n be_v to_o this_o war_n so_o as_o from_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o apostle_n give_v it_o deserve_v a_o emphesis_n an_o above_o all_o that_o be_v especial_o want_v not_o this_o as_o sallomon_n say_v of_o wisdom_n above_o all_o get_n get_v understanding_n and_o keep_v thy_o heart_n with_o all_o diligence_n so_o above_o all_o thing_n take_v the_o shield_n of_o faith_n before_o we_o consider_v more_o particular_o of_o this_o so_o much_o commend_v faith_n we_o will_v think_v a_o little_a what_o those_o fiery_a dart_n be_v which_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v and_o quench_v by_o faith_n by_o fiery_a dart_n here_o i_o understand_v not_o so_o much_o temptation_n to_o all_o kind_n of_o he_o though_o faith_n serve_v for_o all_o meet_v with_o they_o also_o but_o the_o breastplate_n of_o righteousness_n seem_v

thing_n aswell_o as_o other_o piece_n of_o armour_n but_o especial_o faith_n be_v of_o use_n here_o and_o these_o dart_n seem_v to_o be_v either_o some_o burn_a violent_a temptation_n to_o lust_n or_o after_o they_o to_o despair_v for_o the_o first_o our_o nature_n since_o the_o first_o defilement_n by_o original_n corruption_n be_v never_o perfect_o cool_v it_o be_v by_o some_o principle_n
