31. And the Lord said Simon, Simon, Behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as Wheat.

HOW busie is the Devil to ruin a sincere Christi∣an! and hast not thou felt him busie in thy Heart, O my Soul, to deprive thee of the Crown of Righte∣ousness, which the Lord hath promised to them that strive lawfully! Hast not thou felt him busie to poison thy Graces! busie to infect thy Prayers! busie to evacu∣ate the Virtue of thy Holy performances! and yet thou hast not resisted him. How have all the Avenues been set open, that that King of Darkness might come in! How hast thou hugg'd his Temptations! suffer'd him to revel in thy Breast! yielded to his evil suggestions, and been persuaded by his Arguments! He hath but beckoned to thee, and thou hast run! How hast thou betrayed the Citadel of the Holy Ghost! Prophaned his Temple, and suffered the Sanctuary to be robb'd by Heathens and In∣fidels!
