have_v be_v because_o satan_n desire_v he_o so_o to_o do_v than_o he_o will_v not_o afterward_o have_v yield_v to_o any_o of_o satan_n desire_n but_o apparent_a it_o be_v that_o god_n himself_o yield_v to_o satan_n in_o the_o trial_n of_o job_n in_o the_o deceive_n of_o ahab_n and_o christ_n in_o bid_v they_o to_o go_v into_o the_o swine_n 1._o our_o saviour_n answer_n do_v not_o import_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o he_o answer_v to_o the_o temptation_n not_o the_o tempter_n for_o his_o answer_n show_v that_o the_o thing_n itself_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v whosoever_o have_v move_v it_o and_o so_o all_o his_o answer_n be_v 2._o why_o do_v he_o answer_v satan_n 1._o to_o show_v that_o there_o can_v be_v so_o much_o say_v for_o sin_n but_o all_o may_v be_v answer_v and_o more_o say_v against_o it_o 2._o if_o by_o power_n he_o have_v overcome_v satan_n he_o have_v not_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n for_o we_o have_v not_o the_o power_n our_o saviour_n have_v we_o have_v the_o same_o scripture_n 3._o if_o he_o have_v overcome_v he_o with_o power_n this_o time_n he_o shall_v have_v hinder_v satan_n from_o tempt_v he_o any_o more_o 4._o some_o say_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o satan_n desire_v to_o sinde_v out_o and_o accomplish_v 1._o he_o desire_v to_o make_v christ_n sin_n 2._o he_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o if_o our_o saviour_n have_v by_o power_n overcome_v the_o devil_n he_o have_v satisfy_v he_o in_o one_o of_o his_o intention_n for_o he_o have_v full_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v write_v that_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o as_o we_o call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o bible_n and_o the_o scripture_n because_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o book_n and_o of_o all_o writing_n so_o do_v the_o lewes_z 1._o he_o do_v not_o say_v where_o that_o it_o be_v write_v in_o deuteronomy_n for_o that_o be_v needless_a for_o one_o book_n be_v not_o of_o more_o authority_n than_o another_o 2._o it_o be_v needless_a in_o respect_n of_o satan_n for_o our_o saviour_n well_o know_v that_o satan_n be_v so_o verse_v in_o scripture_n that_o he_o need_v not_o tell_v he_o where_o any_o thing_n be_v write_v 3._o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o also_o shall_v be_v so_o well_o verse_v in_o scripture_n that_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v quote_v for_o scripture_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v able_a to_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v scripture_n or_o no_o but_o to_o know_v the_o very_a place_n where_o it_o be_v write_v why_o do_v not_o our_o saviour_n say_v what_o he_o please_v to_o say_v upon_o his_o own_o authority_n since_o our_o very_a saviour_n word_n be_v of_o equal_a authority_n with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o by_o scripture_n 1._o that_o he_o may_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v god_n 2._o that_o he_o may_v so_o overcome_v the_o devil_n that_o we_o may_v follow_v he_o which_o we_o can_v not_o if_o he_o have_v use_v his_o own_o authority_n 3._o that_o we_o may_v not_o rely_v on_o reason_n in_o thing_n of_o salvation_n for_o reason_n be_v not_o able_a to_o overcome_v temptation_n for_o reason_n be_v not_o able_a to_o find_v out_o all_o sin_n so_o st_n paul_n a_o learned_a man_n confess_v that_o he_o have_v not_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v rom._n 1._o and_o if_o one_o can_v by_o reason_n find_v out_o sin_n we_o can_v know_v what_o be_v a_o temptation_n for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o know_v when_o one_o be_v persuade_v to_o sin_n if_o one_o do_v not_o know_v what_o be_v sin_n 4._o that_o he_o may_v show_v we_o the_o sure_a way_n to_o vanquish_v all_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o satan_n gildas_n the_o ancient_a of_o all_o our_o english_a divine_n call_v the_o two_o testament_n the_o two_o shield_n of_o the_o saint_n 5._o but_o where_o be_v it_o thus_o write_v not_o in_o the_o self_n same_o word_n any_o where_o for_o the_o word_n be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o hebrew_n the_o septuagint_n have_v they_o so_o but_o why_o do_v not_o our_o saviour_n use_v the_o word_n according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o our_o saviour_n use_v these_o word_n for_o this_o gospel_n be_v write_v first_o in_o hebrew_a and_o after_o translate_v into_o greek_a divers_a thing_n be_v add_v in_o the_o greek_a which_o very_o probable_a be_v not_o in_o the_o hebrew_n copy_n as_o for_o example_n matth._n 1._o you_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n emanuel_n which_o be_v say_v the_o text_n god_n with_o we_o and_o so_o here_o because_o the_o septuagint_a translation_n be_v general_o know_v more_o than_o the_o hebrew_n but_o you_o will_v again_o say_v since_o the_o septuagint_n differ_v in_o divers_a thing_n from_o the_o hebrew_n how_o can_v one_o bring_v any_o proof_n from_o it_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v often_o quote_v after_o that_o translation_n to_o prove_v yet_o the_o passage_n of_o such_o place_n where_o the_o difference_n of_o one_o lie_n never_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v any_o point_n as_o in_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n man_n he_n do_v not_o say_v the_o son_n of_o god_n live_v not_o 1._o for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o write_v and_o he_o will_v confute_v satan_n by_o scripture_n for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v 2._o because_o he_o will_v not_o make_v it_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 3._o and_o chief_o because_o he_o will_v give_v he_o such_o a_o answer_n that_o may_v agree_v with_o we_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o not_o man_n we_o can_v not_o have_v say_v so_o 2._o man_n to_o show_v the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n for_o other_o creature_n god_n do_v by_o his_o perpetual_a ordinary_a providence_n feed_v and_o sustain_v but_o work_v not_o miracle_n but_o for_o man_n he_o do_v live_v not_o by_o bread_n only_o three_o thing_n be_v include_v 1._o that_o man_n do_v live_v by_o bread_n that_o be_v one_o thing_n by_o which_o he_o live_v or_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o his_o bodily_a life_n and_o nourishment_n for_o if_o bread_n be_v not_o any_o thing_n whereby_o he_o live_v it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o say_v he_o live_v not_o only_o by_o bread_n 2._o that_o bread_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a cause_n of_o life_n though_o one_o have_v bread_n one_o may_v die_v 3._o not_o absolute_o necessary_a though_o one_o have_v it_o not_o we_o may_v live_v but_o by_o every_o word_n that_o proceed_v the_o meaning_n may_v be_v this_o 1._o that_o though_o a_o man_n have_v no_o bread_n yet_o god_n can_v give_v other_o thing_n to_o nourish_v as_o he_o do_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n upon_o which_o indeed_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v in_o deuteronomy_n 2._o or_o thus_o that_o there_o be_v other_o thing_n require_v for_o nourishment_n then_o bread_n for_o if_o god_n have_v not_o by_o his_o word_n as_o well_o give_v the_o stomach_n a_o power_n to_o digest_v and_o chylifie_v and_o to_o the_o liver_n to_o sanguifie_v there_o can_v be_v no_o nourishment_n the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n stand_v thus_o 1._o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o i_o shall_v make_v these_o stone_n bread_n since_o god_n can_v otherwise_o provide_v for_o i_o notwithstanding_o i_o be_o in_o the_o wilderness_n 2._o as_o your_o advice_n be_v not_o necessary_a one_o may_v not_o follow_v it_o and_o yet_o do_v well_o so_o it_o be_v not_o full_a if_o you_o take_v the_o second_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n for_o though_o one_o have_v bread_n yet_o there_o be_v more_o require_v for_o every_o word_n of_o god_n the_o word_n whereby_o the_o stomach_n have_v power_n to_o digest_v be_v require_v or_o thus_o there_o be_v two_o life_n of_o man_n and_o two_o word_n of_o god_n the_o life_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v take_v for_o that_o command_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o create_v all_o thing_n or_o it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o scripture_n if_o you_o take_v life_n and_o the_o word_n the_o first_o way_n i_o have_v explain_v it_o already_o bread_n also_o may_v be_v take_v for_o natural_a bread_n and_o sacramental_a bread_n if_o you_o take_v it_o the_o second_o way_n than_o thus_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o only_o by_o eat_v the_o sacramental_a bread_n but_o also_o by_o obey_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o command_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o fit_a place_n of_o scripture_n that_o can_v be_v choose_v for_o when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v in_o the_o same_o place_n the_o wilderness_n and_o in_o the_o same_o strait_n want_v bread_n god_n send_v they_o manna_n and_o

and_o that_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v extant_a under_o his_o name_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o one_o else_o to_o write_v i_o shall_v be_v sure_a that_o these_o be_v his_o work_n without_o the_o authority_n of_o tradition_n and_o as_o for_o we_o in_o england_n we_o receive_v neither_o our_o bible_n nor_o our_o religion_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n no_o more_o than_o they_o do_v from_o we_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v among_o we_o within_o three_o or_o four_o year_n after_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o establish_v by_o civil_a authority_n almost_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n before_o they_o at_o rome_n have_v indeed_o the_o corruption_n in_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v in_o luther_n time_n we_o just_o ascribe_v
