The last is prayer, whereby1 we betake our selves to God in all estates, craving mercy for the pardon of our sins, and strength of grace to resist temptation, and an happy deliverance out of the middest of it. And he that can take to himself these excellent virtues, and put upon him this complete armour of Christianity, is ready and fit to meet with any temptation whatsoever; and howsoever he may be assaulted, yet he cannot be overcome, neither shall the gates of hell ever prevail against him to hinder his salvation.

But deliver us from evil.
But deliuer vs from euill.
These words contain the second part of this petition, which is added as an exposition of the former: for then are we not lead into temptation, when God delivers us from it, giving strength to withstand, and a good issue out of it.
