This armour being of God,1 it must needs be complete, or else question might be made of his power, as if he were not able to provide sufficient armour; or of his providence, as if he cared not to have his soldiers well armed; or of his goodness, as if he were not moved with the wounds and foils of his servants, which for want of good armour they must needs receive: but Gods power, providence and goodness being without all defect, we may conclude that this armour of God is complete.
