2 For although our sins are forgiven us, yet are we never so cleared of them, but the relics of the flesh do still remain in us, whereby our adversary doeth drive us unto divers sins. Wherefore we desire, that the Lord would not suffer us to be overcome by the Devil, and the lusts of our flesh, which do continually war against us.

Wherefore wee desire, that the Lorde would not suffer vs to be ouercome by the Deuill, and the lusts of our flesh, which doe continuallie warre against vs.
3 Now because we wrestle not with flesh and blood, that is, with those enemies, which we are able to gainst and by our own strength: but against the powers of the Air, ⟨p. 220⟩that is, against Satan himself, who doth continually as a roaring Lyon lie in wait for us, and provoke us to sin: this Petition is altogether necessary for us, that thereby we may obtain spiritual armour at Gods hands.
