2. We must fight upon our knees by Prayer: Prayer is flagellum diaboli, it whips the Devil*; the arrow of Prayer put into the bow of the promise, and shot with the hand of Faith, pierceth the old serpent. Prayer brings God over to our side, and then we are on the strongest side; let us pray that God will enable us to overcome all our ghostly Enemies. While Joshua was fighting, Moses was praying on the Mount, Exod. 17. 11. so while we are fighting, let us be praying, Ephes. 6. 13, 18. The way to overcome is upon our knees.
