2. They are unsutable to your Cause; They are unsutable to a Christian, who is the Souldier of Christ, and to Religion, ⟨p. 264⟩which is the Cause of Christ. Pitty a good Cause should have low spirits, the Cause is sufficient bottome to beare up the Spirit, and put courage into the heart of a coward; None can defend it, but it will defend them, As your danger lies in deserting of it, so your security lies in defending of it.

Epaminondas was so devoted to his Buckler, that he took up a resolution, either to defend it, or to dye for it; and being wounded to death, he cries out, dIs my Buckler safe? esteeming all well, if that were safe. It was their honour and safety too, to defend that which should defend them.
