Satan's decoy; or The youth's faith in Christ. : Being a true relation of a merchant's son of Bristol, a youth of eleven years of age, who took great delight in his learning, and served his maker ; so that his parents thought themselves happy in so dutiful a child. Shewing how, as he was going to school one day, he met the Devil drest in black, who would have persuaded him to play truant, and go with him to a fair, ball, or play ; but he defied all his temptations ; whereupon he vanished in a flash of fire, upon which the youth fell down on his knees to pray in the field, and afterwards went to school ; when his master chiding him for staying so long from the school, he told him what had happened. Together with an excellent prayer the schoolmaster made for the use of his scholars ; fit for the serious perusal of both young and old, in order to bring them to a true faith, and that they may avoid the shares and temptations of the devil..
