Expl. 106. In this Petition there are two things necessarily supposed, as (1) The wickedness or perverseness of mans nature to sin, for when we beg that God would not lead us into temptation, we do own a proneness to fall into it. (2) The weakness of mans nature to resist temptations, or to come off without any final damage when we are tempered, for therefore do we pray to God to deliver us from evil; that if the wise God, in his wise and just providence, for holy and just ends, do so order things, that we be assaulted by the Devil, the World, or the Flesh, yet that God would so powerfully support and assist us by his Grace and Spirit that we be not overcome, but that ⟨p. 189⟩we may recover as a Bird out of the snare of the Fowler. We do not absolutely pray against afflictions (though these are also tentations) and lead us not, &c. but we do absolutely pray to be delivered from the evil of sin, and this by God alone, who can bring good out of evil.
