3. Sometimes the life of a Christian is compared to fighting. 1 Tim. 6.12. Fight the g•od fight of faith; Christ is the Captain of the Saints Forces; he is called [Greek or Hebrew], the Captain of their salvation, Hebr. 2.10. We must all be Military persons; faith is our shield, hope is our helmet, the Word of God our sword; we come into the world, as ⟨p. 556⟩into a field-battle, lusts war against us, 1 Pet. 2.11. Good reason therefore that we should war against them; 'tis a day of battle, and it is dangerous going abroad without our Armour.
