DEVT. 20.1.2.34.When thou goest out to Battell against thine Enemies, and seest Horses and Chariots, and a people more then thou, be not affraid of them; for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the Land of Egypt: And it shall be when yee are come nigh unto the Battell, that the Priest shall approach and speak unto the people & shall say unto them: heare, O Israel, you approach this day unto the battell against your Enemies; let not your hearts faint; feare not, and doe not tremble; neither be yee terrified because of them; for the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your Enemies, to save you.
PSAL. 3.6. PSAL 27.3.I will not be affraid often thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I feare? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be affraid? Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not feare•• though War should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
LVKE. 17.33. MAT. 16.25.Whosoever shall seek to save his life (by cowardly and unworthy practises) shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life (by adventuring it valiantly) shall preserve it.
