Evil shall get the upper hand of evil men: A good man, possibly, may be afraid, and afraid sinfully, excess of fear may take hold of him, but he shall not be prevailed against (Pro. 24.16.) The just man falls seven times a day (into affliction and trouble) and riseth up again; trouble may throw him down but it cannot keep him down (Mic. 7.8.) Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy, when I fall, I shall rise; the Church rises in her falls, and she sometimes foresees her rising, when she is fallen: The wicked fall, and rise no more. And whereas the Saints are more then conquerors through him that loveth them, wicked men are more then conquered, they are utterly ruined, lost, and vanquished, because not beloved. There are two battles wherein we cannot stand without the strength of Christ.
