CHAP. 7. Of those temptations which fight against FAITH.
Because the whole spiritual life of a man doth depend upon his Faith, Heb. 10. 38. And by Faith as by a shield, a man is preserved safe against all the temptations of the Devil, the World and the Flesh, Ep. 6. 16. 1 Pet. 5. 9. Heb. 11. 25. Therefore it is that these three enemies do bend their forces principally against Faith. It will be profitable therefore to be acquainted with the principle assaults in this kind, as also with those means whereby through the grace of God, we may repel them, that they do not overmuch weaken our Faith.
