Which is the sixth petition?
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;”a that is, since we are so weak in ourselves, that we cannot stand a moment;b and besides this, since our mortal enemies, the devil,c the world,d and our own flesh cease not to assault us;e do thou therefore preserve and strengthen us by the power of thy holy spirit, that we may not be overcome in this spiritual warfare;f but constantly and strenuously may resist our foes, till at last we obtain a complete victory.g
