He shall deliver thee from the strange woman, Prov. 2.16. Thy body shall be kept blamelesse untill the comming of CHRIST, 1 Thess. 5.24 Who so pleaseth GOD shall escape from her, Eccles. 7.26.
It is part of GODS Covenant to give us victory over all our enemies: this is the great pro∣mise that GOD hath made; That being delivered from the hands of all our enemies, we might serve him in Holinesse and Righ∣teousnesse all the d••ies of our life, Luke 1.74. When a child of GOD is to wrestle with Satan, or any temptation or lust, hee may chal∣lenge the Covenant at GODS hands, and say, LORD hast not thou said that Thou wilt deliver me out of the hands of all mine enemies? Is it not a part of thy Covenant?
