Inference 1 1. That therefore we our selves should entreat God, 1to keep us from Evil; Jesus Christ's Prayer for us should not exclude our own praying for our selves: Christ did never so intend to pray to his Father to keep us from sin, that we should be careless, & never pray to keep our selves from sin. Although Christ prays to keep us from Evil, yet we must also pray, for so he teacheth, Math. 6.13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil: which is the same with this in the Text.
