As the Lord, he is careful and powerful in the hearts of his awin children, when the time of tentation is, that they be not overcome by it, and enables them by his Spirit to put aff ane ill hour, so the enemy of God's honour and of man's salvation, upon the other part, he is als busy to withdraw the heart by tentations, and to put by a good hour, and when we come to serve and worship God, then to draw our hearts away; and als ready as he is to draw them away, als ready are our hearts to go with him. And therefore let us now pray to the Lord, that he would go between us and that enemy of his honour and our salvation, and that he would teach us from above, from himself, and give us a further sight of the truth, and a love to it, for his honour and our comfort, through Jesus Christ.
