6. Let us manfully resist all the Temptations of Satan and his instruments. If we resolve to walk with God, we must expect to be withstood in our way: they that are his enemies will be ours too; and if all their policy and industry can draw us off, they will not be wanting. We are told of Satan, 1 Pet. 5.8. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour; and of his agents in, Mat. 24.24. If it were possible they would deceive the very Elect. And there is no way for us to escape them, but by withstanding of them, 1 Pet. 5.9. Whom withstand steadfastly in the faith. There is need therefore of courage and constancy, in all those ⟨p. 20⟩that would hold on their way, and not be turned out of it.
