As Fencers play some times, and fight with low weapons, merely to teach their Scholars how to use them; So the blessed Saviour, though he could with his Deity have driven way the Devil, yet fighteth against him with the Word, 1to show us the virtue of, and how we should handle that weapon, Matth. 4.4, 7, 10.

Is the world to you a place of thorns and briars, 1get your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace, and ye may walk comfortably through it. The Irish some say tread so lightly on the ground, that they run over bogs in which others stick and sink to their ruin. Though many perish in the Worlds Sloughs and Quagmires, yet they that have the Gospel shoe on are sure to be safe.
