EPHES. vi. 10-19. Finally, my Brethren, be ftrong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to ftand againft the wiles of the Devil. For we

powers, against the rulers of the darknefs of this world, against
fpiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the
whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to ftand. Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with Truth, &c.
