§. 13. The Devils wiles.
§. 13. The Diuels wiles.
Satan's subtlety is here particularly expressed under this word,1 wiles. The Greek word signifieth artificial, crafty,2 cunning conveyances of matters, windings up and down, and turning every way to get the greatest advantage. Fitly is this word used by the Apostle, for his temptations and assaults are very cunning, full of much deceit, of many windings, which make him so mightily prevail against the greatest sort of the world, even against all that are not strong in the Lord, and wise in well using the whole armour of God.
