But how do we overcome?
In the 12 of the Revelat. v. 11. And they overcame him, that is, the Devil, By the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. These of all other people, are the overcoming people. As Christ overcame the Devil, by being overcome; so men overcome, by being overcome. Those that suffer upon the account of Jesus Christ, when they are overcome by the world in the view of the world, then they overcome. Now Christ will be sure to reward them well that overcome. And thus you see why these of all other people shall be so well rewarded. And thus you have the Doctrine cleared.
