tempted to deathe eternal. Of the whiche Paule to the Hebrewes saythe: It is impossible that they,* 1.2 whiche ones be enlyghtened, and haue tasted the good word of god and the vertue of the worlde to come, if they slyde and fall agayn, to be renued by repentaunce: as Demas, Hymeneus, and Phile∣tus, professynge the faythe, dyd fall from it. and that is synne to deathe, synne in the holy gooste, synne of vnbelefe, synne of spiri∣tuall pryde. Wherfore Christ dyd commande vs to pray,* 1.3 Let vs not be led into temptation. They that beleue, do synne, but they fal not vtterly away: so that they consent not to the fleshe, the world, and the deuil, but by the grace of god they be preserued and go awaye, ha∣uinge victory and triumphe.
