Wherefore let every faithful man labour and strive with all diligence to learn and to keep this doctrine:1 And to that end let him use humble and hearty prayer, with continual study and meditation of the word. And when we have striven never so much, yet shall we have enough to keep us occupied. For we have to do with no small enemies, but strong and mighty, and such as are in continual war against us, namely our own flesh, all the dangers of the world,2 the law, sin, death, the wrath and judgement of God, and the Devil himself: who never ceaseth to tempt us inwardly by his fiery darts, & outwardly by his false Apostles, to the end that he may overthrow, if not all, yet the most part of us.
