4. Caution, that the Devil prevail not against us; he once surprised Peter, Mat. 16.23. Get thee behind me Satan; he hath prevailed over them, that usurp the highest Chair in the Christian Church. Let him not blind your Eyes in whole or in part; though you be not drawn to Antichristianism, do not live ⟨p. 167⟩in a carnal Worldly course; For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil, 1 John 3.8. Every wicked act is Satan's Invention, he stirreth it up, is served by it, delights in it, his Kingdom goeth forward by it: He gaineth by every wicked action. Show plainly, that you are not of his party, nor ever mean to be. Give way to fleshly and worldly lusts, and you are very prone to entertain the grossest Temptations; and by subtle evasions will wriggle and distort your selves out of your duty, as the Papists do.
