i_o suppose_v you_o have_v to_o fight_v for_o your_o king_n which_o you_o so_o much_o deify_v that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a you_o will_v set_v he_o in_o god_n throne_n or_o above_o he_o as_o you_o do_v in_o your_o heart_n which_o do_v appear_v plain_o by_o your_o answer_n to_o some_o of_o these_o question_n or_o else_o you_o fawn_v upon_o he_o for_o some_o by-sinist_a end_n of_o your_o own_o to_o be_v great_a in_o the_o esteem_n of_o the_o world_n but_o i_o shall_v by_o god_n blessing_n endeavour_n to_o give_v you_o certain_a evident_a rule_n in_o the_o handle_n of_o each_o particular_a that_o will_v demonstrate_v unto_o you_o what_o gross_a error_n you_o have_v commit_v what_o danger_n you_o be_v in_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o a_o remedy_n how_o to_o avoid_v and_o escape_v these_o danger_n i_o shall_v handle_v they_o in_o order_n and_o so_o make_v particular_a application_n according_a to_o the_o time_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o answer_n which_o be_v touch_v your_o profession_n you_o say_v you_o be_v a_o gentleman_n and_o a_o soldier_n i_o answer_v if_o you_o be_v so_o than_o you_o be_v in_o a_o very_a good_a condition_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o all_o soldier_n be_v call_v gentleman_n soldier_n and_o those_o be_v gentleman_n soldier_n in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n that_o fight_v the_o lord_n battle_n he_o that_o fight_v under_o christ_n banner_n he_o that_o fight_v against_o sin_n and_o satan_n and_o to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o that_o endeavour_v to_o beat_v down_o popery_n superstition_n idolatry_n and_o tyranny_n he_o that_o endeavour_v to_o set_v up_o christ_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o regulate_v his_o life_n and_o conversation_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n he_o have_v prescribe_v in_o his_o word_n he_o that_o endeavour_v a_o reformation_n and_o love_v the_o brethren_n which_o be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n &_o will_v join_v with_o they_o and_o fight_v for_o they_o to_o free_v they_o from_o wrong_n and_o oppression_n he_o that_o keep_v himself_o free_a from_o plunder_v and_o spoil_v the_o country_n and_o do_v any_o wrong_a or_o injury_n to_o any_o man_n by_o his_o will_n or_o the_o like_a these_o be_v true_a property_n of_o a_o gentleman_n soldier_n i_o can_v wish_v gentleman_n soldier_n to_o be_v better_o advise_v and_o not_o rash_o go_v to_o war_n but_o first_o look_v into_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o see_v what_o ground_n they_o have_v for_o it_o and_o ask_v council_n of_o god_n for_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o war_n he_o teach_v david_n hand_n to_o war_n and_o his_o finger_n to_o fight_v and_o if_o you_o see_v your_o enterprise_n tend_v to_o god_n glory_n than_o you_o may_v assure_v yourselves_o of_o the_o victory_n by_o he_o who_o be_v only_o the_o almighty_a and_o can_v turn_v all_o flesh_n into_o dust_n with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o your_o own_o conscience_n to_o make_v particular_a application_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o gentleman_n soldier_n must_v be_v thus_o and_o thus_o qualify_v what_o will_v be_v become_v of_o all_o you_o cavalier_n i_o will_v entreat_v you_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o begin_v first_o with_o yourself_o and_o examine_v your_o own_o conscience_n see_v by_o your_o action_n whether_o your_o enterprise_n tend_v to_o god_n glory_n or_o no_o &_o then_o i_o presume_v your_o action_n will_v be_v a_o shrewd_a evidence_n against_o you_o if_o you_o try_v yourself_o by_o the_o touchstone_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n &_o now_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o how_o true_a gentility_n first_o come_v in_o gentility_n come_v in_o first_o by_o some_o heroic_a virtue_n by_o the_o sword_n or_o by_o
