Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity.

11 Now there are divers and almost infinite sorts of temptations: for some of them are raised within us only by our own concupiscence, which afterward are augmented by Satan: others are administered unto our concupiscence by the wonderful delusions of Satan: Again, we are sometimes provoked unto wickedness from the right hand, that is, by flatteries, and the false resemblance of right and profit; otherwhiles from the left, that is, by threats and terrors.
11 Now there are diuers and almost infinite sortes of temptations: for some of them are raised within vs onelie by our owne concupiscence, which afterward are augmented by Sathan: others are administred vnto our concupiscence by the wonderfull delusions of Sathan: Againe, wee are sometimes prouoked vnto wickednes from the right hand, that is, by flatteries, and the false resemblaunce of right and profite; otherwhiles from the left, that is, by threats and terrors.
12 And from all these do we desire, that our God would deliver us, by enabling us with his strength: that so dwelling under his protection and defence, we may firmly stand against all the assaults of Satan.
12 And from all these doe wee desire, that our God would deliuer vs, by enabling vs with his strength: that so dwelling vnder his protection and defence, we may firmlie stand against all the assaults of Sathan.
13 So the word DELIVER, doeth admonish us of our weakness, and ignorance. For, if we were able by our own strength to withstand temptations, we should not stand in need to crave strength and aide else where: This our deliverance from sin then, is not in our selves, neither doth it depend upon our selves, but only upon the strength, grace, and mercy of God.
