19. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong. However weak and dying the righteous man may be, the evils which oppose
him are sure to be lively enough. Neither the world, the flesh, nor the devil
are ever afflicted with debility. If the devil were sick, or our lusts feeble,
we might slacken prayer; but with such lively and vigorous enemies we must not
cease to cry mightily to our God. And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. As we are no match for our enemies in strength, so also they
outnumber us a hundred to one. Wrong as the cause of evil is, it is a popular
one. More and more the kingdom of darkness grows.
