The Sword and the Trowel
The Christian's state in this life is one of combat… He needs his sword as much as his trowel.. The Christian is assailed on every side by his enemy. How can it be otherwise? When the seeds of war are laid deep in the natures of both, and can never be rooted up till the devil cease to be a devil, sin to be sin, and saint to be a saint?… Sin will lust against grace, and grace draw upon sin whenever they meet.>–William Gurnall "Christian in complete Armour"
