Several discourses tending to promote peace & holiness among Christians to which are added,…

1. As to the Enemies of God and our Souls. As there is a renouncing required at first, so at length there is requisite an overcoming, the Devil, the World, and the Flesh; Rev. 2. 7. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God. We overcome the Devil, when we keep up our Resistance, and stand out against his Batteries and Assaults; 1 Pet. 5. 8, 9. Be sober, be vigilant, because your Adversary the Devil, as a roaring Lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist steadfast in the Faith. We overcome the World, when the terrors and allurements of it have less force and influence upon us; 1 John 5. 4, 5. Whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the World: And this is the Victory that overcometh the World, even our Faith. Who is he that overcometh the World, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? and, Gal. 6. 14. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the World ⟨p. 290⟩is crucified unto me, and I unto the World. We overcome and subdue the Flesh, when we have crucified the Flesh, with the Affections and Lusts, Gal. 5. 24. When we get the mastery over the passions and affections thereof: and tho we be sometimes foiled, yet the drift and bent of our lives is for God, and our Salvation.
