He that hath his head and face well and safely covered, will be bold and courageous without fear, lifting up his head, and looking his enemy in the face, and so boldly go on forward, not fearing Arrows, Darts, or any such things that shall be shot, or thrown at him. Even so he whose soul is established with Hope, waiting for Salvation in the end, will with an holy resolution go on in his course to God, not fearing the manifold assaults of his spiritual enemies, being assured that they shall not pierce his soul, but that at length he shall remain a Victorer, when the Devil and his instruments have shot all their Arrows against him. Hope of Salvation maketh a man rouse up his soul and spirit in the midst of temptations: thus much the notation of thatt word, whereby the Apostle setteth forth the Hope and earnest expectation of the creature, implieth. David alludeth hereunto,⟨p. 301⟩ saying,2 Unto thee, O Lord, lift I up my soul: And again, I will lift up mine eyes to the mountain, 3from whence my help cometh.
