5 You've missed your aim, your ends you shant obtain

Of me, for all your subtile feares are vain;

You're like a lion seeking to devour,

But over me you shall not have your power.

At this the devil gave a horrid look,

And in a flash of fire the fields forsook;

This heavenly youth he then knelt down to pray.

And when he'd done to school he took his way.



The Prayer that he made himself in the Field.

L mighty and ever living God, who did suffer thine only son to be tempted by the devil in the wilderness after he had fasted 40 days and 40 nights; and as thou hast been pleased at this time to defend me from his snares and subtility, to rule my heart so that I withstood all his temptations. I return the humble and hearty thanks for the same, for which I hope I shall find rest at the last day; and give thanks to my blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
