Without this intestine traitor then, the devil himself cannot hurt us: but it alone is able to hurt us without him. We need no other Tempter to tempt or entice us to evil: we have ^kan Eve, a Tempter of our own each one within us, more powerful and more effectual then any is or can be without us, and one that needeth not any help from without. ^lEvery man, saith the Apostle, is tempted, when he is enticed and drawn aside by his own lust. And so lust having conceived bringeth forth sin, and sin being consummate bringeth forth death. ^mNo need is there of other devil to delude or destroy us; there is devil enough in the ⟨p. 15⟩hearts of every one of us to do either, there is enough in us without any devils help to effect either.

Without this intestine traitor then, the deuill himselfe cannot hurt vs: but it alone is able to hurt vs without him. We need no other Tempter to tempt or entice vs to euill: we haue ^kan Eue, a Tempter of our owne each one within vs, more powerfull and more effectuall then any is or can be without vs, and one that needeth not any helpe from without. ^lEuery man, saith the Apostle, is tempted, when he is inticed and drawne aside by his owne lust. And so lust hauing conceiued bringeth forth sinne, and sinne being consummate bringeth forth death. ^mNo need is there of other deuill to delude or destroy vs; there is deuill enough in the ⟨p. 15⟩hearts of euery one of vs to doe either, there is enough in vs without any deuils helpe to effect either.
