5. The Law of God is a place of ammunition, out of which we must fetch our spiritual artillery to fight against Satan. *It may be compared to the Tower of David, builded for an armoury, whereon there bang a thousand bucklers; all shields of mighty men, Cant. 4.4. It is called the sword of the Spirit, Ephes. 6.16. 'Tis observable, when the devil tempted our Saviour, he runs to Scripture for armour, 'tis written*; three times Christ wounds the Serpent with this sword, Mat. 4. ⟨p. 40⟩ver. 4, 7, 10. Is it not good having our armour about us when the enemy is in the field?
