That faith the mother of all good works justifieth us before we ca[n] bring…That fayth the mother of all good workes iustifieth us before we ca[n] bringe…

Watch is not only to abstain from sleep / but also to be circumspect & to cast all perils: as a man should watch a tour or a castle. we must remember that the snares of y• devil are infinite & innumerable / & that every moment arise new temptations & that in all places mere us fresh occasions. Against which we must prepare ourselves / and turn to God / and complain to him / and make out moan / and desire him of his mercy to be our shield / our tour / our castle and defence from all vill / to put his strength in us (for without him we can do nought) and above all things we must call to mind what promises God hath made / and what he hath sworn that he will do to us for Christs fake / and with strong faith cleave unto them / and desire him of his mercy and for the love that he hath to Christ / and for his truths fake to fulfil his promises. If we thus cleave to God with strong faith / and believe his words: then (as saith Paul .j. Corint. x.) God is faithful / that he will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able or a above our might that is to say / if we cleave to his promises & nor to our fantasies and imaginations / he will put might and power in to us / that shall be stronger than all the temptation which he shall suffer to be against us.
