Were it not for temptations, we should be concealed from our selves, our graces, as unexercised, would not bee so bright, the power of God should not appear; so in our weaknesse, we would not be so pitiful and tender towards others, nor so jealous over our owne hearts, nor so skilfull of Satans method and enterprises, we should not see such a necessity of standing alwayes upon our guard.
Richard Capel — Tentations: Their Nature, Danger, Cure (1633), on the overruling use of temptations
