THE ARGVMENT.

This Petition is the second parte of the spirituall couenant, which God hath made for the saluation of his church, for we desire in it, that as he hath forgiuen vs our sinnes, so he woulde vouchsafe to write his lawes in our hartes, that hee would defend vs by the power of his Spirit, and susteine vs by his helpe, so that we may stand invinciblie against al tentations.

What is the sixt petition?

Leade vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from all evill: that is, forasmuch as wee are by nature soe feeble and weake, that we are not able to stand no not a moment of time, & our deadly enemies,a Satan, theb worlde, and our ownc flesh, do continuallie assaile vs, vpholde thou vs and strengthen vs by the power of thy spirit, that weed faint not in this spirituall combate, but may so long stand against them, vntill at the last wee obtaine a perfite victorie.f
