For the causes I conceived they were principally two, of which two also I was deeply convinced all the time this trouble lay upon me. The first was for that I did not, when I was delivered from the temptation that went before, still pray to God to keep from the temptations that were to come; for though, as I can say in truth, my soul was much in prayer before this trial seized me, yet then I prayed only, or at the most principally, for the removal of present troubles, and for fresh discoveries of his love in Christ, which I saw afterwards was not enough to do. I also should have prayed that the great God would keep me from evil that was to come.
