There are three sorts of men Satan doth in the Church bewitch. 1. The first are they that will take no pains at all, nor trouble themselves to study about their religion, and what belongs to their souls. 2. The second are they, that though they will take some pains, and study diligently, yet it is in by-studies, as matters of controversy, or the general knowledge of religion, or matter that may fit them for discourse, or the like. 3. Now a third sort there are, that will not be drawn aside from the needfullest studies, as are repentance, assurance, order of life, &c. but their fault is, that they study not these diligently. For they soon give over, and finish not their works either of mortification, or sanctification, or illumination, or preparation for salvation.
