13. And then there is opposition from Satan in every good action, he besets us in prayer with distracted thoughts, and in every duty, for he knows they tend to the ruin of him and of his Kingdom. There is no good action but it is opposed from within us, and without us; the means of salvation, and the attending on them, they are not without slander and disgrace in the world. God will have this violence therefore, because there is opposition to the means, to the attendance on them, to grace, to every good action, to every thing that is spiritually good.
