 Who under him do fight, they ſhall be ſure to win the field; When thou'rt diſcourag'd and caſt down, he can thee comfort give, And when thou'rt tore aſſaulted he can ſuccour and relieve. And when you're like to faint and fall, then he can give thee ſtrength, Spirit and life, and courage too, and victory at length. His principalities and powers, hath of their conqueſt ſpoil'd, And being ſtronger alſo hath them vanquiſhed and ſoil'd; He by his death them conquered, and gave them a death blow, And on his croſs, triumphing he of them did make a ſhow. Take courage then, and in his ſtrength, fight and not fearful be, Then ſhall theſe wounded enemies, as ſmoke before then fly. But if thou ſhalt thyſelf alone, againſt theſe foes engage, Thou'lt not be able to reſiſt their fury and their rage. No wound, no bruiſe, no broken head, on them thou wilt repay, At thine endeavours all they will, but laugh and thee defy Adventure not in thy own ſtrength, they will be ſtrong for thee,
