§. 6. Of perseuerance.
4.1 WE must persevere and continue in well employing the graces of Gods Spirit to our defence: thus may we better stand in the spiritual combat, then in our outward bodily fight: for our bodies have need to have the armour put off, for their ease and refreshing: but our souls have no such need.
