Look upon the Word as a spiritual 1Magazine, out of which you fetch all your weapons to fight against sin and Satan. 1. Here are weapons to fight against sin. The Word of God is a consecrated sword, that cuts asunder the lusts of the heart. When pride begins to list up it self, the Sword of the Spirit destroys this sin, 1 Pet. 5. 5. God resists the proud. When passion vents it self, the Word of God, like Hercules-club, beats down this angry Fury, Eccles. 5. 9. Anger rests in the bosom of fools. When Lust boils, the Word of God cools that intemperate heat, Ephes. 5. 5. No unclean person hath any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ. 2. Here are weapons to ⟨p. 27⟩fight against Satan. The Word fenceth off temptation. When the Devil tempted Christ, he three times wounded the old Serpent 2with the Sword of the Spirit. 'Tis written, Mat. 4. 7. Satan never sooner soils a Christian, than when he is unarmed, and without Scripture-weapons.
