city_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o second_o temptation_n wherewith_o our_o saviour_n christ_n during_o the_o infirmity_n of_o his_o body_n for_o want_v of_o food_n be_v aslault_v where_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v satan_n leave_v to_o carry_v he_o in_o the_o air_n after_o a_o strange_a manner_n and_o to_o set_v he_o on_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n where_o he_o reason_v thus_o with_o he_o thou_o say_v man_n live_v not_o by_o bread_n only_o but_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o thy_o father_n who_o can_v maintain_v thou_o without_o bread_n and_o herein_o thou_o do_v well_o now_o because_o thou_o be_v assure_v and_o do_v promise_v thyself_o that_o god_n will_v never_o destitute_a the_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o show_v i_o thy_o power_n in_o cast_v thyself_o down_o and_o not_o hurt_v thou_o the_o power_n of_o thy_o father_n be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o thou_o be_v here_o at_o jerusalem_n the_o famous_a city_n show_v they_o what_o thou_o be_v able_a to_o do_v that_o they_o may_v all_o give_v thou_o the_o applause_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o notable_a mean_n to_o make_v they_o swarm_v after_o thou_o and_o because_o thou_o may_v know_v i_o go_v about_o nothing_o preindiciall_a to_o god_n glory_n or_o dangerous_a to_o thou_o own_o person_n it_o be_v write_v that_o especial_o thou_o shall_v be_v protect_v by_o angel_n and_o they_o shall_v wait_v upon_o thou_o to_o keep_v thou_o from_o hurt_n therefore_o thou_o need_v not_o despair_v now_o christ_n tell_v he_o not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v this_o for_o he_o will_v not_o gratify_v he_o so_o much_o but_o let_v he_o know_v that_o he_o wrong_v the_o word_n and_o wrest_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n allege_v for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v general_o the_o angel_n shall_v support_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n but_o they_o shall_v defend_v he_o in_o all_o his_o way_n that_o be_v such_o as_o my_o father_n have_v appoint_v i_o to_o walk_v in_o so_o that_o if_o i_o or_o any_o other_o christian_n

another_o plain_a place_n that_o i_o must_v not_o tempt_v god_n but_o keep_v myself_o within_o my_o compass_n and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a to_o have_v safeguard_n hence_o we_o may_v gather_v two_o part_n first_o the_o temptation_n second_o the_o repulse_n the_o temptation_n have_v two_o part_n first_o whereto_o christ_n be_v tempt_v second_o a_o reason_n persuade_v he_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o temptation_n for_o the_o first_o general_o observe_v that_o satan_n deal_v by_o contrary_n both_o with_o the_o head_n and_o with_o the_o member_n for_o when_o he_o see_v he_o can_v not_o overcome_v christ_n in_o the_o case_n of_o famine_n to_o make_v he_o despair_v of_o god_n providence_n now_o he_o labour_v to_o overreach_v he_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o presumption_n that_o he_o shall_v try_v his_o providence_n that_o since_o he_o can_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o be_v feed_v without_o bread_n he_o may_v make_v he_o presume_v to_o be_v up-held_a without_o mean_n even_o so_o deal_v he_o with_o we_o either_o to_o make_v we_o distrustful_a through_o penury_n or_o proud_a through_o plenty_n in_o the_o time_n of_o ignorance_n seek_v to_o make_v we_o proud_a through_o work_n and_o to_o be_v in_o love_n with_o they_o without_o faith_n and_o now_o to_o stand_v upon_o faith_n without_o work_n before_o labour_v in_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n and_o now_o hunt_v after_o knowledge_n without_o zeal_n for_o the_o second_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o allege_v scripture_n namely_o psal_n 91.1_o wherein_o observe_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o though_o scripture_n here_o be_v oppose_v to_o scripture_n yet_o not_o to_o withdraw_v the_o determination_n of_o matter_n from_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o to_o post_v they_o off_o to_o rabbin_n and_o counsel_n for_o none_o can_v better_o try_v the_o truth_n then_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n second_o that_o it_o detract_v nothing_o from_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o come_v forth_o of_o satan_n mouth_n nay_o nothing_o grace_v it_o so_o much_o as_o this_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o satan_n know_v what_o bait_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a will_v best_o and_o soon_o bite_v at_o and_o in_o his_o subtlety_n if_o any_o stratagem_n can_v have_v prevail_v more_o than_o other_o he_o will_v have_v use_v it_o but_o he_o know_v christ_n rely_v upon_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o the_o voice_n of_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o he_o use_v the_o great_a weapon_n against_o the_o great_a enemy_n that_o he_o may_v show_v in_o pretence_n to_o have_v as_o much_o truth_n on_o his_o side_n as_o christ_n if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o temptation_n itself_o wherein_o consider_v three_o point_n first_o that_o the_o devil_n transform_v himself_o so_o far_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n as_o he_o bring_v scripture_n second_o to_o examine_v how_o right_o and_o true_o he_o do_v apply_v it_o three_o how_o false_o he_o do_v abuse_v it_o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v write_v say_v the_o devil_n deal_v with_o the_o sharp_a and_o blade_v it_o out_o with_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o he_o deal_v plain_o and_o show_v his_o horn_n as_o it_o be_v by_o apert_o oppose_v himself_o with_o violence_n against_o the_o truth_n sometime_o more_o privily_o and_o shroud_v himself_o under_o pretence_n of_o truth_n and_o this_o two_o way_n first_o by_o heretical_a doctrine_n and_o gross_a superstition_n second_o by_o persuade_v man_n that_o he_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o the_o truth_n as_o in_o this_o place_n that_o he_o will_v persuade_v christ_n to_o nothing_o but_o that_o he_o have_v scripture_n for_o thus_o deal_v he_o act._n 16_o 17._o where_o a_o woman_n possess_v with_o a_o devil_n have_v the_o power_n of_o spiritual_a divination_n have_v

and_o proclaim_v audience_n and_o ring_v the_o bell_n as_o it_o be_v to_o gather_v the_o people_n about_o he_o be_v worth_a the_o wonder_n but_o what_o be_v his_o drift_n and_o subtlety_n in_o this_o save_v that_o by_o the_o maid_n often_o repeat_v it_o and_o clamorous_a noise_v of_o it_o it_o may_v persuade_v the_o poor_a disciple_n and_o weak_a follower_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o paul_n and_o the_o devil_n have_v both_o combine_v and_o compact_v together_o as_o if_o thereby_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v bring_v into_o suspicion_n to_o be_v but_o the_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o light_a to_o be_v mingle_v with_o darkness_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v vers_fw-la 18._o that_o paul_n be_v grieve_v till_o he_o have_v cast_v he_o out_o even_o so_o here_o to_o bring_v the_o people_n to_o
