in_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n temptation_n matthew_n for_o the_o second_o temptation_n 5._o mat._n 4_o 5._o put_v the_o devil_n take_v christ_n up_o into_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o set_v he_o one_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n now_o the_o evangelist_n saint_n luke_n seem_v to_o invert_v the_o order_n and_o for_o the_o second_o temptation_n put_v the_o devil_n take_v 4.5_o luc._n 4.5_o christ_n into_o a_o high_a mountain_n and_o show_v he_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n now_o if_o the_o question_n be_v how_o these_o evangelist_n must_v be_v reconcile_v answer_n may_v be_v make_v if_o there_o be_v a_o harmony_n as_o to_o the_o temptation_n that_o be_v write_v by_o the_o evangelist_n it_o be_v enough_o though_o they_o differ_v as_o to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o temptation_n we_o do_v not_o use_v to_o accuse_v a_o man_n of_o a_o falsehood_n who_o tell_v we_o many_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a though_o they_o be_v something_o out_o

speak_v of_o that_o temptation_n in_o the_o second_o place_n which_o luke_n do_v in_o the_o three_o place_n as_o long_o as_o they_o differ_v not_o about_o the_o main_a as_o to_o the_o temptation_n concern_v which_o they_o write_v there_o be_v a_o harmony_n still_o between_o matthew_n and_o luke_n yea_o some_o think_v that_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n viz._n that_o the_o holy_a penman_n do_v not_o lay_v their_o head_n together_o about_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o do_v transcribe_v one_o another_o copy_n they_o agree_v in_o the_o main_a and_o yet_o differ_v in_o thing_n of_o a_o lesser_a consideration_n 24._o rule_n when_o the_o evangelist_n urge_v a_o scripture_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n many_o time_n they_o refer_v not_o to_o the_o word_n in_o themselves_o consider_v but_o to_o the_o scope_n and_o aim_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o that_o place_n to_o which_o they_o relate_v for_o instance_n he_o come_v and_o dwell_v in_o a_o city_n call_v nazareth_n that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o 2.23_o mat._n 2.23_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n he_o shall_v be_v call_v a_o nazaren_a which_o saying_n can_v be_v find_v in_o terminis_fw-la in_o any_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o the_o evangelist_n refer_v to_o those_o scripture_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n though_o he_o make_v not_o use_v of_o the_o same_o word_n so_o saint_n luke_n now_o that_o the_o dead_a be_v raise_v even_o moses_n 38._o luke_n 20._o 37_o 38._o show_v at_o the_o bush_n when_o he_o call_v the_o lord_n the_o god_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o god_n of_o isaac_n and_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n for_o he_o be_v not_o a_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n moses_n show_v not_o that_o the_o dead_a be_v raise_v in_o terminis_fw-la but_o indeed_o this_o be_v infer_v from_o what_o he_o say_v by_o consequence_n for_o he_o call_v the_o lord_n the_o god_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o god_n of_o isaac_n and_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n and_o he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n and_o from_o hence_o let_v we_o be_v establish_v in_o this_o truth_n that_o necessary_a consequence_n from_o scripture_n do_v prove_v a_o jus_o divinum_fw-la a_o divine_a right_n yea_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v
