3 Here is complete armour for the forepart: a helmet, comprehending the beaver and gorget, to cover the head and face down to the neck. A breastplate, containing under it the skirts or bases, to cover all unto the knees. The Greaves or Boots to cover the legs unto the sole of the foot. For th• right hand a sword, for the left a shield. Lastly, a Girdle or Belt to bi•de all together. Whence the instruction is, that the graces of Gods Spirit, that he bestows upon us, are sufficient to defend and keep us safe: So that this being complete and sufficient armour, we need not seek further to add any thing to it, to make us bold and courageous. So much in general.
