Temptations will come, but if they be not made welcome by you, ye have the best of it; be jealous over yourself, and your own heart, and keep touches with God; let him not have a faint and feeble soldier of you; fear not to back Christ, for he will conquer and over more; let no man scar at Christ, for I have no quarrels at his cross. He and his cross are two good guests, and worth the lodging. Men would fain have Christ good cheap, but the mercat will not come down. Acquaint yourself with prayer, make Christ your Captain and your Armor; make conscience of sinning when no eye seeth you.
