That it is dangerous to talk with the devil, so much as to bid him to depart; if the Lord to try us should suffer him to tempt us visibly, as he did Eve: unless we have a special calling of God thereunto: First, because he is too subtle for us, being simple in regard of him. Secondly, because he is so desperately malicious, that he will give place to no good thing we can allege to make him leave off his malicious purpose.
