but also, becuse if we be armed therewith, we shall obtain a final victory over our spi∣ritual enemies after which shall follow everlasting peace, which shall not so much as e disturbed with the attempts of any enemies.It is not sufficient that we know and be∣lieve th Gospel of peace, unlsse we be al∣waies prepared to make confession and pro∣fession thereof, though thereby we incur worloly shame, losses, afflictions and perse∣cutions: and this the Apostle signifieth by telling us that our feet must be shod with the prparation of the Gospel of peace, that is as those who are well shod, are ready to go through rough and unpleasant waies, so those that are indued with the knowledge of the Gospel must alwaies be in readiness to make profession thereof, in the midst of affli∣ction and persecution: for as with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, so with the mouth he must confess unto Salvation, Rom. 10.10.But now if we lay aside this armour, we shall be as unfit to travel in the afflicted way which leadeth to Gods Kingdom, as those souldiers who are bre-foot, are fit to march through waies that are full of briars and thorns.0
