So
that
as Saran

to

is
the mo-

which receiuing

My

For.
this

tray
vs
into
the
hands
of
thofe enemies who
feeke
our
life;
and
that,when
it
feemeth
louingly
and kindly to
kiffe vs.
And
as
it
is
moil treacherous,
fo
alto
moli dangerous, and
hard
to
be ouercome,
for
as
much
as
it
is
in
our
felfe,
and
the

s,

greatefl part
ofour
felfe,
and
therefore
we
cannot
forfake
it,
That
thefiefh
vnleffe we forfake
our
felues
;
we
cannot
fight againfi
it, vn-
iss
a
moft
dan-
leffe
we raife intef}ine
and
ciui-1l
warres
in
our owne
bowels;
gout
enemie
we
cannot vanquilh
it,
vnleffe
we fubdue
our
felues;
and
if
we
feeke
to runne
away from
it,
wemightas
eafily flee
from
our
owne fhadowes,
yea
from our
felues;
for
we
carrie
it
in
our owne bofomes.
How
hard therefore
is
this
enemie
to
be
ouercome how dangerous andirkfome mull
this
fight
needs
be;
wherein our
felues
mull
be enemie
to
our

So
that
we cannot
obtaine the

vnlefl'e
