Mr. Richard Baxter's paraphrase on the Psalms of David in metre with other hymns…

We are all in our Baptism listed in Christ's Army as Cross-bearers, against the Devil, World, and Flesh: And he that lamenteth not the successes of Satan, and the greatness of his Kingdom, the vastness of the Dominions of Heathens and Infidels, the fewness of Christians, the greater paucity of those that are Christians indeed, sincere and serious, that are more for Heaven than for Earth, and mortify the Lusts of the Flesh by the Spirit, and how woefully Satan hath prevailed to make Hypocritical, Nominal Christians, more false, malignant, and bloodthirsty than many Turks and Heathens, and how lamentably in many Christian Nations he hath so far got Power and Ministry on his side, as to be the most effectual hinderers of the serious Practice of that Christian Religion which themselves profess. I say, he that is not sensible of this, is not a genuine Disciple of Christ, and a skilful Soldier in his Army. And he that is, will understand David's Psalms; but yet Christ will teach him, that it is by Faith and Patience that Christians must be more than ⟨image 8⟩Conquerors, while they are killed all the day long, and counted as sheep to the slaughter, while nothing can separate them from the love of God.
