LVC. 11.4.But deliuer vs from euill.
I Follow the most ancient, who make this the seuenth Petition of this prayer; for temptation and euill are not all one, euery euill is not temptation, nor euery temptation euill.
I distinguish them thus!
In the former petition we pray that we may doe no euill, in this, that we may suffer none, in the former is malum culpae, in this malum poenae is deprecated.
Both against the deuill.
1 Ne doceat malum.
2 Ne noceat malo.
1 That he seduce vs not, against Massah.
2 That he torment vs not, against Meribah.
This is like Dauids prayer.
Deliuer me out of the mire, let me not sinke, let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
Let not the water floud ouerflow me, neither let the deep swallow me vp, let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
