A Breast-plate doth the Souldier chear,It makes him very bold;So Righteousness doth make us allOur Sword with courage hold,
2
And not to fear i'th'day of evilWhat any man can do;Nay we hereby withstand the Devil,Who doth great malice show.
3
O then, ye Saints, see you maintainA good and holy life,And soon thereby you will obtainAn end of all that strife
4
With which you meet from Foes with∣out,And also from within;O know it is God's great designTo purge you from your sin;
5
And that you holy should all live,And hence 'tis you have Grace;The Seed of Holiness is sown,And it will grow apace,
descriptionPage 250

If under God's shinings ye sit,And he his Rain doth send,Then will your Righteousness break forth,And peace will flow i'th' end;
7
And of God's Goodness ye shall sing,And lift your voice on high,And happy be when God doth bringYou on Death-Beds to lye.
