Q. 66. — What is the war cry of these watchers?

A. — Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity. I Corinth, xvi, 13, 14.

Q. 67. — What clothes shall they wear?

A. — Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering, forbearing one another, forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity which is the bond of perfection. Coloss. iii, 12, 13, 14, to 17.

Q. 68. — Wherein consists their implements of war, armor and weapons, that they daily seize, and have in readiness if they wish to fight and conquer this soul-enemy?

A. — Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of wickedness. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints. Ephes. vi, 13-18.
