1. In managing the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, against Errors and sinful Practices, to be able to confute them mightily, as Apollos did, out of the Scriptures, showing the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 2. By Prayer: for to pray down sinful opinions and practises. That we mean when we pray, Thy Kingdom come, that the Gospel may run on and be glorified: that these nights of darkness may be dispelled: that Truth may shine to the perfect day. ⟨image 137⟩3. By holy practising against them: by holding forth the Word o• Life in your Conversations: by striving together by a mutual provocation for the Faith of the Gospel, in respect of holy walking. 4.

The reasons of the Point I gave you.
I shall now sum up all in a word of Exhortation, to press every one that bears the name of a Saint, to take up this Exhortation of the Apostle, Earnestly to contend for the faith that was once delivered to the Saints. The sum of all is, to beg that you would be valiant for the Truth of Christ; that whatever hath been delivered to you consonant to the truth, agreeable to the faith delivered to us, that you would struggle might and main, by all Christian courage, by argument, practice, prayer, by suffering, rather than let go those truths that God hath taught you by his faithful Ministers: that Christ hath been preached to you: those Scriptures you have in your hands; those Doctrines you have learned by experience, by prayer, by searching the Word: those ways of Worship God hath taught you; those patterns of his house, and out-goings and returnings there, that he hath taught you; be exhorted to hold them fast, and not let them go: (Contend earnestly for the faith, &c.)
