The armour of God is a complete armour, 1every way sufficient: sufficient to defend us in every part, and sufficient to keep off and thrust back every assault, and every dart of our spiritual enemies. For the first, if we well note the particular pieces of this armour hereafter described, we shall find the Christian soldier armed from top to toe: For the last,f the Apostle saith of one piece, that by it all the fiery darts of the wicked may be quenched: if by one piece, much more by every piece jointly together, may all assaults be repelled. Hence it is that theg Scripture which prescribeth this armour, is able to make the man of God absolute.
