For all our life in this world, is ⟨image 219⟩subject to diverse temptations. Some time the flesh tempteth us, some time the false & deceitful world, some time the devil tempteth us, who hath ever had a most fervent desire to do us hurt. And all the temptations of these our enemies, do level at this prick, to bring us, to do against gods commandments. But it is our parts, manfully to withstand such temptations, that we assent not to any evil. And yet we are not able to withstand these our enemies, onles God help us by the holy ghost. Wherefore, when soever we be tempted, to do any thing against gods commandments, there is no better remedy, then to call for gods help, and to say as Christ taught us. Good Lord suffer us not to be lead into temptation. For when we do ⟨p. cxcvii⟩so, God heareth our prayers, he sendeth the holy ghost, and helpeth us, that we be not led into temptation.
