    LIII.—To the Soldiers of Christ.

    When thou hast given thy name to the warfare, thou art held by a bridle.  Therefore begin thou to put away thy former doings.  Shun luxuries, since labour is threatening arms.  With all thy virtue thou must obey the king’s command, if thou wishest to attain the last times in gladness.  He is a good soldier, always wait for things to be enjoyed.  Be unwilling to flatter thyself; absolutely put away sloth, that thou mayest daily be ready for what is set before thee.  Be careful beforehand; in the morning revisit the standards.  When thou seest the war, take the nearest contest.  This is the king’s glory, to see the soldiery prepared.  The king is present; desire that ye may fight beyond his hope.  He makes ready gifts.  He gladly looks for the victory, and assigns you to be a fit follower.  Do thou be unwilling to spare thyself besides for Belial; be thou rather diligent, that he may give fame for your death.
