For when the gospel is preached in its purity, men have a sure guide for their faith and are able to avoid idolatry. But then Satan makes various efforts and trials in an effort either to draw men away from the word or to corrupt it. Thus even at the time of the apostles various heresies arose in the Greek Church.…

Our age, too, has instances like these before its eyes, when, after the purer doctrine of the gospel came to light, several kinds of assailers of the works and the word of God arose. Of course, the other temptations do not cease; Satan still incites to fornication, adultery, and similar infamous deeds. But this temptation—when Satan attacks the word and the works of God—is far more serious and more dangerous, and it is peculiar to the church and the saints.43
