Wherefore should I fear (saith David) in the days of evil? Wherefore should I? I that stand in such relations, I that have such dependences, such encouragements, such succours, such promises, such expectations, wherefore should I fear? this were unworthy me. As Themistocles said to a Soldier, when he passed by the spoil of his enemies, Thou mayst gather up the spoil, for thou 1art not Themistocles. Esteeming it unworthy for him to do those things which others did. Christians! God hath stamped a great deal of honour upon you in making you Christians, the Soldiers of Christ, and you are to be as far above others of the world in courage, as they are below you in condition. See David. Psal. 27.1, 2, 3. Fears are their portion, not yours. Isay. 8.12. Fear not their fears.—
