§. 3.
3. Therefore men that
love iniquity and are not
willing to let any sweet
morsels of sin to go from
under their tongues, can∣not
but seeke to make it
in season alwayes as water
is alwayes in season for
fish to drinke, which is
done when the light of
the Gospel is put out,
when the spirit of Godli∣nesse,
that lives in the
word of God, is quenched,
when that two edged
sword is taken out of the
mouth of Christ, and a
sword of lead put instead
of it; when men are na∣ked
and unarmed, they had
neede take heede of keene
weapons in the hand of
descriptionPage 88
an enemie: swords and
speares are dangerous to
them; now the workes of
darknesse make men na∣ked
men, and obnoxious
to all, as the Apostle im∣plies
in that opposition,
where hee cals an honest
and vertuous life, the ar∣mour
of light, Rom. 13. 12.
namely, because men that
are harnessed herewith
need feare no enemie, no
weapons, no censures, re∣proofes,
threatnings, nei∣ther
from God nor men:
the sword of the spirit it
selfe wounds them not;
but if men bee loose, sin∣full,
and prophane, the ar∣rowes
of Christ in the
Scriptures are very sharp,
and will pierce them
descriptionPage 89
through and through,
wanting the brest-plate of
righteousnesse, and upright∣nesse
of heart to defend
them.
