Seven sermons on several select subjects preached

Thirdly, A Christians life it is a warfare for Combat. We all of us come into the world as into Field-battle; we stand just as the Jews did, Nehem. 4.17. Every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and in the other hand held a weapon. Just such is our Military posture, working and fighting in order to this holy warfare; we must get our Spiritual Armour ready, the Breastplate of Holiness, which can never be shot through; and having got this Armour, and the Shield of Faith in our hands, we must now give battle to our Spiritual Enemies, ⟨p. 8⟩2 Tim. 4.7. I have fought the good fight of Faith; yea and we must maintain a Combat with the flesh, and that for an Enemy Satan.

Every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and in the other hand held a weapon. Just such is our Military posture, working and fighting in order to this holy warfare; we must get our Spiritual Armour ready, the Breastplate of Holiness, which can never be shot thorow; and having got this Armour, and the Shield of Faith in our hands, we must now give battle to our Spiritual Enemies, ⟨p. 8⟩2 Tim. 4.7. I have fought the good fight of Faith; yea and we must maintain a Combate with the flesh, and that for an Enemy Satan.
