A06063	The spirituall armour With which being furnished, a Christian may be able to stand fast in the euill day, and time of tryall; and to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

which assureth that all things are for good to vs. When heer below there are pitchy clouds stormes and such like impressions of the air the starry firmament hath no chaÌ„ge the sun hath the same brightnes when it is hidden from vs that it hath when it shineth most gloriously so vvhen wee alter and there is nothing but thunder lightning and storme in our sky God is the same the faithful mercies of the couenant are not changed Thirdly vvee must if our soules bee out a little schoole them as Dauid doth Psal 42. Why art thou cast downe my soule and why art thou so disquieted within me There is an art of rocking the soule and stilling it if out of quiet the Lord teach it vs. Now for the doctrine Doct. vve see how wee are to strengthen our selues with learning the doctrin of our peace through Christ Paul was thus shod Rom. 8.38.39 I am perswaded nothing shall separate mee from the loue of God All things I knowe worke together for the good of them that are beloued of God Rom. 8.28 And this furniture made him goe such hard vvaye cheerfully in vvhich showrs of afflictions did fal as thick as hailstones The Church in the Canticles 7.1 is commended that her steps in these shooes are comely This doth make Gods children though not in the letter yet in som sort tread vpon the Adder Basilisk shake off Vipers and receiue no hurt vvhereas if the feet be bared a little with the absence of this in sense or faith any thing smarteth sore on vs. Iob 13.14 Wherfore doo I take my flesh in my teeth And 6.3 Therefore novv my vvords are svvallovved vp Ezechias seeing God like a Lion his peace somevvhat clouded chattred like a Crane Vse 1 Where fore vvee beeing to gette our selues thus fenced against the craggednes of the vvay how are they to bee blamed that neuer labour to haue part in this peace vvhich the gospel bringeth They vvould be loth not to provide their bodies against vveather difficulties of the vvay they go but their soules they care not for But look as it is pitifull vvith one that goeth vpon sharp flints barefoot c. or amongst the thorns and bushes so as the blood trickleth dovvne at euery step so pitifull shall thy naked soule bee vvhen adversitie shall â—eet thee if thou be not fenced with this knovvledge of peace through Iesus Christ Vse 2 Secondly wee must labour to see this our peace Oh that wee knewe these things concerning our peace What could hurt If the sting be pulled forth of an Adder vvee may play with it in our bosome If vve know euery thing is for our good as Iob saith wee may laugh when destruction comes Aboue all things haue a care that it be a souÌ„d peace for there is in nature and bodies a double sleepe one sicke another sound now it is seene in the wakening For sick sleep maketh vs when we awake so much the more sicke the other strengtheneth vs so peace is the soules sleepe Now if thy peace bee not sound when God shall waken thy conscience the more thou hast slept the more shall thy griefes be increased nay nothing shall sting thee more then thy peace woe to thee that art at peace but if thou art at quiet by knowing the doctrine of peace by the Gospell then it shall refresh and strengthen thee Now followes the fourth thing the shield of faith First wee handle it generally in order as before Secondly particularly from the circumstances First the manner of exhorting aboue all things Secondly the coÌ„mendation of it that it can quench all the fierie darts c. First the thing here meant is a true liuely faith laying holde on Christ for iustification and in the rest of Gods word and speciâ—ll promises for the passâ—â—g oâ— this present life for not onely faith on Christ but on the speciall promises of God is necessary for vs not that these are two seuerall kindes of faith but one imployed diuersly as the soule in man working in the seuerall faculties of nature is not three soules but one exercising three diuers functions Secondly for the vse of faith it serveth not onely to iustifie vs but to make vs endure in all afflictions without making haste The iust liueth in time of his afflictions by faith Hee that beleeueth maketh not haste 2. It doth worke in vs and guide the course of our obedience Rom. 1 5. To the obedience of faith not onely in beleeving the Gospell but the other word of command and promise 3. It doth preuail against all enemies This is the victory that ouercometh the world euen our faith 1. Iohn 5.4 The Vse shall be more particularly branched out heereafter Thirdly we must mark how the Diuell doth practice against vs in this point 1. Hee will labour to put vpon vs and serue vs with a counterfait faith Ob. 1 You beleeue that God is mercifull and sent his Sonne to be the Sauiour of mankinde you meane well and haue good hope to God-ward that is enough Hee that beleeueth shall be saued Marke 16.16 And all that can be said for the Popish faith may bee brought hither Ans Ans That faith that saueth vs must worke by loue Galat. 5.6 It must purge our hearts Acts 15.9 And hee put no difference betweene vs and them after that by faith he had purified their hearts It must make vs to knowe Christ hath giuen himselfe for vs. Galat. 2.20 Thus I liue yet not I now but Christ liveth in mee and in that I now liue I liue by the faith in the sonne of God who hath loved me and giuen himselfe for mee And bring Christ into our harts Ephes 3.17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that yee being rooted and grounded in loue c. Now to haue a faith without good workes a knowledge onely of a Saviour giuen to man-kinde this will profit nothing Iames 2.14 What availeth it my brethren though a man say he hath faith when he hath no workes Ob. 2 can the faith saue him c. Secondly He will labour to wrest our faith from vs more violently or craftily the first in this wise Simon Magus beleeved Acts 8.11 Herod c. Faith in temporisers doth not availe them that faith is no better for they haue done many things had ioy kept the Apostles company and gone as farre as thou Answ Ans Wee must beare off this blowe by learning to distinguish true faith from false faith by foure things 1. For the nature of it True faith doth apply Christ in particular saith with Paul and Thomas My Lord and my God Who hath loued mee and giuen himselfe for me Secondly it doth increase in the ministry of the word and prayer which did as Gods instruments beget it Now false presumptions are carelesse of these helpes Thirdly It is perfected groweth vp through temptations wrastling with doubting feares For if our faith bee a true fruit of

Now more particularly that he saith we wrestle not against flesh and blood it doth teach vs that in those things men doe or speake offensiuely to vs our principall enemie is not man Paul had much opposition by men yet hee saith we wrestle not against men he saw worse enemies in them then themselues men did persecute the Saints but Reuel 2.10 the holy Ghost saith the Diuell doth cast them into prison the false teachers did seduce the Corinthians but 2. Cor. 4.11 the holy Ghost saith Satan did beguile them the Damosell and men that chased Peter to the denyall of his Master were not his chiefe enemies but the Diuell that desired to winnow him Luke 22.21 So the Caldeans and Sabeans that spoyled Iobs goods were not the chiefe against him but Satan by them The Diuell doth like fowlers who go with their stalking horse twixt them and the fowle that they may shoote more securely so hee doth put men sometime our friends somtime good men of whoÌ„ we are nothing afraid between vs and him that hee may work his mischiefe vndiscerned Vse 1 Wherfore seeing it is thus when any person doth offend vs or prouoke our spirit let vs not so much looke at them as at the enmitie the Diuell doth shew in them who doth labour to winow vs weaken our faith break our patience by those things and this wold make vs not take to heart so much persons that offend vs but bend our forces most against those principal enemies whose trunks instrumeÌ„ts the other are Saul left hunting Dauid wheÌ„ he heard the Philistims were vpon him Vse 2 2. Seeing the Diuel doth euen make men instruments of his wickednes let vs by the way take good heed that hee doe not circumuent vs the rather because hee will winde in him selfe when wee haue no ill purpose in it as Peter praying Christ to spare himselfe The Corinthians being seuere to the incestuous person the Diuell would haue vsed this their course to the ouerwhelming of him with sorrowe Secondly the Diuell with his Angels are called powers and principalities Wee see the euill Angels haue a great stroke in the frame of this present euill world in ordering or rather disordering of states and kingdomes these are not emptie titles but giuen them from a powerfull action they haue in the hearts of men by Gods permission And the same must be gathered when hee is called the Prince of this world yea 2. Cor. 4.4 the god of this world his vsurpation and the spirits of euill men yeelding him no lesse Great is their power in keeping out good keeping in euill procuring iudgement and hee doth scoure thorough Court and Countrey for this purpose Thus he prouoked Dauid by sinne to lay the people naked to Gods iudgemeÌ„t 1. Chro. 21.1 And Satan stood vp against Israell Thus hee laboured to cutte off the hopes of the Church by stirring vp euill Princes to entrap Daniel in the matter of his religion Dan. 6.5 Thus hee stood at the right hand of Iehosuah to resist him Zach. 3.2 Prince Priest and People hee worketh in them all to holde vp his owne kingdome and stablisheth all things that serue for it as on the contrary to keepe out light truth and all means which shold befriend these Hence it was that the best Kings of Iudah neuer made a thorough reformation hence that in some Countries receiuing the Gospell as in Germany there haue beene such bones of dissension as subscription to their bookes of concord the apple of discord For Mat. 13.24.25 the Diuell soweth tares when good seede is sowen by the Lord. Vse 1 Wherefore seeing that these spirits haue such a power in this world we must not wonder at such speeches Which of the great ones beleeue on him Ioh. 7.48 You see your calling not many wise men after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called 1. Cor. 1.26 For then the Diuell could not haue so great a sway in the kingdome of this world if he should not holde great personages for the most part sure to him Vse 2 Againe it letteth vs see that the succesfull proceeding of the Church and Common-wealth will not come off easily for these powers doe oppose against it And such as are light of beleefe in this point it proceedeth from ignorance They doe not knowe the power and latitude of the Diuels kingdom Vse 3 But the third and principall vse is to stirre vs vp to pray that God would make these powers fall down like lightning from heauen that God would binde vp these powers of darknesse and send forth his good Angels to watch for the good of Church and Countrey If the Diuell be so busie to hinder the personall progresse of a private man what will he do to withstand the happy estate of a whole nation if God should not rebuke him The third thing to bee marked hence is that hee saith they be gouernours of the darknesse of this world Doct. Obserue hence that whosoeuer doe liue in the state of darknesse they are vnder the Diuels power These are ioyned the one as the foundation of the other and before wee haue deliuerance from the one we cannot be freed from the other Act. 26.18 To open their eyes that they may turn from darknes to light and from the power of Satan to God c. And therefore the Scripture affirmeth of one who heareth the word and commeth not to the affectiue knowledge of it so to learne Christ as the truth is in Christ that hee is in the hands of the God of this world 2. Cor. 4.4 In whom the God of this world hath blinded their mindes that is of the Infidels that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ which is the image of God should not shine vnto them for ignorance is the very foundation of the Diuels kingdome Againe whoso liueth in the darknesse of sinne is of the Diuell Ioh. 3.8 He that commiteth sinne is of the Diuell and whoso is subiect to Gods curse as euery one not truely beleeuing is is as yet vnder the power of Satan for hee is Gods executioner euen as we may say if a man bee led pinioned vp the ladder and haue a handkerchiefe knit before his eyes that hee is in the hands of the hangman If one be in the dungeon at the Castle with boults on him we may say he is vnder the power of the Iayler so if this vaile be knit before the eyes of the mind and so the face couered If one do liue in vnrighteousnes vnholinesse bound with the bands of many trespasses whose sins you shall loose If one lie in the little ease of an euill conscience whether he be in a drunken sleep and feele nothing or if hee be waking such a party is in the power of Satan for the Diuell is but the Iayler and hangman to the Iustice of God Vse 1 Wherfore let vs examine our selues and consider how it is with vs for wee would
