Excerpt from Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of It, the Danger of Entering Into It, and the Means of Preventing That Danger; With a Resolution of Sundry Cases Thereunto Belonging Whatever motives incited him to the preparation of it, the whole work, with the exception of a few paragraphs, might have been written, with set purpose, for the people of God in every age. In no work is the sound judgment of our author more conspicuous. He avoids all fanciful speculations into the mysteries of satanic agency, euch.as were too common on this theme. He is too much in earnest that his readers should be brought into a condition of safety against the wiles of the devil, to break the force of his warnings and entreaties by ingenious speculations and irrelevant learning. Not merely in the warm appeals interspersed with his expositions, but in the patient care with which no nook of the heart is left unsearched, does the deep solicitude of Owen for the spiritual welfare of 1118 readers appear. To one who reads the treatise in the spirit with which the author wrote it, - simply that he may judge his own heart, and know what temptation means, and be fully on his guard against it, - the effect is far beyond what the mere wealth of fancy or the arts of rhetoric could produce.
