Our Saviour Christ set his disciples in an order, and come maunded them to watch and pray, saying: Vigilate & orate. Watch and prays: whereto should they watch & pray, he1 sayeth by and by, Ne […] in tentationem, That ye enter not into temptation. He bids them not pray that they be not tempted, for that is as much to say, as to pray that we should be out of this world. There is no man in this world without temptation. In the the time of prosperity ⟨image 241⟩we are tempted to wantonness, […], and all lightness: in time of adversity to despair in God's […]. Temptation2 never ceases. There is a difference between being tempted and entering into temptation. He bids therefore not to pray that they be not tempted, but that they enter not into temptation. To be tempted is no evil thing.
