Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices

Henceforth labeled PRASD. Written by Thomas Brooks in 1652.

Text: II Corinthians ii.11--So that Satan might not outwit us, for we are not unaware of his schemes.

Would Satan get the best of us? Would he take advantage of us? Should he gain from us, seeking and taking that which does not belong to him? Our thesis for the work is as follows:

That Satan hath his several devices to deceive, entangle, and undo the souls of men.

If Satan has these devices, then we should be aware of them, and also possess counter-strategies of our own. This book, therefore, is a presentation of many of the devices Satan uses to gain an advantage over us, along with several remedies for each device.

The first class of devices is those that draw our souls to sin.
