That we acknowledge our owne guiltines, and accuse our selues of falling from God: for God by this iust exaction will humble vs: for by commanding things impossible, he doeth not make men sinners but humble, that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be founde guiltie before God. 2. That we may defie the Deuil and his workes, by whose instigation and inticement, we were thrown downe into the bottomeles pit of these calamities, according vnto that saying, Resist the Diuell, and he will flye from you. 3. Seing our weaknes and inhability is such, that wee are not able to performe that, which God by very good right requireth at our hands, let vs pray the Lorde with Augustine, and say: Graunt O Lord, that which thou commandest, and then command what thou wilt: which was the godly prayer of that holy Father, not that hee hoped he was able to attaine vnto it in this life, but assuredlie in the life to come.","proofs":["James 4:6"]}]}]}
