Against these temptations of the devil the use of the sacraments were instituted in the church.
AGaynst these temptacions of the deuil the vse of the sacramentes were instituted in the churche.
The first temptation of the devil is, he would bear the ⟨image 147⟩Christian in hand the promises of Gods mercy to be false: Therefore doth God confirm them unto us by his sacraments.
The fyrst temptacion of the deuil is, he would bear the ⟨image 147⟩Christian in hand the promises of Gods mercy to be false: Therfore doth God confyrme thē vnto vs by his sacramēts.
The second temptation when the devil perceiveth we believe the promises •f god to be true universally, yet would he make us doubt of them particularly, as though they appertained not unto the private or singular conscience afflicted. That doubt would God remove in us by his sacraments, and saith, they appertain to the private and particular conscience afflicted, even as every private man receiveth the sacraments of the promises.
The second tēptacion when ye deuil perceaueth we belyue the promises •f god to be true vniuersally, yet wold he make vs doubt of them perticularli, as thoughe they appertayned not vnto the priuate or singuler conscience afflycted. That dout wold God remoue in vs by hys sacramentes, and saith, they appertaine to the priuate and perticuler conscience afflycted, euen as euerye priuate man receaueth the sacraments of the promyses.
