5. Recover from thy falls, renew thy combat; as Israel, when they were overcome in battle, they would try it again and again, Judges 20. 28. Take heed of ceasing for the present; for though thy enemy seems to prevail, though the flesh seems to prevail against the Spirit in the battle, yet thou shalt have the best of it in the war; by the power of grace thou shalt have the victory.
5. Recover from thy falls, renew thy combate; as Israel, when they were overcome in battel, they would try it again and again, Iudges 20. 28. Take heed of ceasing for the present; for though thy enemy seems to prevail, though the flesh seems to prevail against the Spirit in the battel, yet thou shalt have the best of it in the war; by the power of grace thou shalt have the victory.
Thus I have gone over the privative part of our duty, Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that doth so easily beset us: I should have come to the positive, Let us run with patience the race that is set before us; there is the duty, Let us run the Race that is set before us; and there is the manner of the duty, Let us run with patience. I should have shown you, That a Christian-life is like a Race from Earth to Heaven, in a way of holiness, and exercise of Grace. This Race it continues as long as we continue in the world, from our nativity to our death; after death the strife is ended. Now in this Race we must run, and so run, that we may obtain the Crown, 1 Cor. 9. 24. Running is a motion, and a speedy motion; there is no lying, sitting, or standing, but still there must be running: We must make a further progress in the way to Heaven, Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Phil. 3. 1. 3.
