be_v able_a to_o help_v i_o and_o so_o i_o rely_v upon_o god_n and_o therefore_o satan_n i_o be_o now_o justify_v and_o stand_v righteous_a through_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n second_o as_o he_o do_v labour_n to_o weaken_v the_o faith_n of_o assurance_n by_o tell_v the_o saint_n that_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n so_o also_o by_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o have_v no_o

of_o the_o gospel-water_n thou_o may_v flourish_v again_o but_o though_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n in_o your_o own_o eye_n though_o you_o do_v profit_n under_o the_o mean_n in_o your_o own_o eye_n

to_o be_v no_o obedience_n neither_o in_o your_o own_o nor_o another_o eye_n yet_o the_o root_n of_o the_o matter_n may_v be_v in_o you_o you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o the_o fish_n that_o be_v in_o the_o water_n in_o a_o windy_a and_o a_o stormy_a day_n you_o put_v many_o fish_n into_o a_o pond_n and_o in_o a_o fair_a sun_n shiney_a day_n you_o see_v they_o play_v upon_o the_o water_n

than_o in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o good_a use_n of_o sign_n draw_v from_o our_o own_o conversation_n but_o this_o be_v agree_v upon_o by_o all_o that_o there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o say_v luther_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n i_o be_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o no_o work_n but_o only_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o i_o do_v rest_n up-him_a do_v satan_n come_v forth_o therefore_o with_o this_o temptation_n that_o you_o have_v no_o

what_o you_o believe_v therefore_o you_o have_v no_o particular_a faith_n so_o no_o faith_n at_o all_o and_o therefore_o your_o assurance_n be_v naught_o quest_n how_o shall_v we_o ward_v off_o this_o blow_n answ_n in_o this_o case_n now_o let_v a_o poor_a believer_n say_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n unto_o his_o own_o soul_n first_o tell_v thy_o soul_n this_o though_o it_o please_v god_n sometime_o to_o give_v out_o a_o particular_a word_n unto_o his_o people_n a_o particular_a promise_n in_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n or_o desertion_n especial_o or_o temptation_n yet_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o therefore_o giveout_o a_o particular_a promise_n that_o a_o man_n may_v measure_v his_o condition_n thereby_o there_o be_v a_o mistake_n but_o the_o lord_n do_v therefore_o give_v out_o a_o particular_a word_n or_o promise_n to_o uphold_v the_o soul_n in_o the_o condition_n not_o to_o measure_v out_o his_o condition_n by_o it_o but_o to_o uphold_v he_o and_o therefore_o though_o i_o have_v not_o a_o particular_a word_n or_o promise_n i_o will_v not_o conclude_v against_o my_o faith_n for_o this_o again_o tell_v thy_o own_o soul_n that_o though_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o give_v out_o a_o particular_a word_n or_o promise_n sometime_o yet_o always_o he_o do_v not_o hezekiah_n have_v a_o particular_a word_n for_o his_o recovery_n but_o the_o three_o child_n have_v not_o a_o particular_a word_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n yet_o they_o believe_v and_o whether_o god_n deliver_v or_o do_v not_o deliver_v say_v they_o we_o

therefore_o my_o faith_n may_v be_v right_a satan_n though_o i_o have_v not_o a_o particular_a word_n now_o for_o this_o business_n again_o tell_v thy_o soul_n this_o that_o though_o god_n be_v

yet_o there_o be_v always_o a_o waiting-faith_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o scripture_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n of_o recumbency_n whereby_o a_o soul_n lean_v upon_o god_n and_o commit_v his_o

notwithstanding_o i_o have_v a_o wait_a faith_n i_o can_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n my_o god_n and_o i_o can_v rest_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o satan_n i_o do_v yet_o believe_v and_o

three_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o acknowledgement_n sometime_o satan_n do_v labour_n to_o weaken_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n acknowledgement_n he_o do_v labour_n either_o that_o they_o shall_v

of_o christ_n now_o the_o son_n have_v more_o credit_n with_o god_n the_o father_n than_o satan_n his_o request_n must_v needs_o prevail_v so_o say_v he_o satan_n have_v desire_v for_o to_o tempt_v

not_o a_o sigh_o not_o a_o groan_n not_o a_o duty_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n take_v it_o and_o carry_v it_o in_o and_o present_v it_o to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o i_o whereby_o i_o have_v

and_o to_o offer_v up_o their_o gift_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n all_o which_o christ_n do_v for_o we_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o one_o work_n more_o of_o our_o great_a highpriest_n and_o that_o be_v to_o bless_v the_o people_n we_o read_v in_o the_o old-testament_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o high-priest_n one_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n the_o levitical_a highpriest_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v and_o his_o work_n be_v for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 6._o chapter_n of_o number_n &_o the_o 23._o verse_n speak_v unto_o aaron_n and_o unto_o his_o

aaron_n and_o that_o be_v melchisedec_n and_o he_o also_o do_v bless_v abraham_n and_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o he_o
as_o a_o great_a type_n of_o and_o in_o relation_n to_o jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n of_o the_o hebrew_n and_o the_o 6._o verse_n say_v that_o he_o bless_v abrabam_fw-la but_o he_o who_o descent_n be_v not_o count_v from_o they_o receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o bless_v he_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n so_o then_o this_o blessing_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o work_n of_o both_o the_o high-priest_n and_o both_o aaron_n and_o melchisedec_n be_v great_a type_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n sure_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o highpriest_n for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n for_o the_o open_n and_o clear_n up_o of_o this_o truth_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o discover_v first_o what_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n our_o highpriest_n be_v wherein_o consist_v and_o what_o christ_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_v the_o people_n second_o that_o it_o belong_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n especial_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n three_o that_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v exceed_o willing_a for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n and_o that_o this_o blessing_n of_o the_o people_n be_v a_o work_n whereunto_o he_o be_v much_o incline_v and_o wherein_o he_o be_v much_o delight_v four_o that_o he_o do_v this_o and_o do_v it_o full_o five_o according_a to_o our_o method_n how_o all_o this_o do_v conduce_v unto_o our_o comfort_n and_o unto_o our_o holiness_n first_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n quest_n 1_o and_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v and_o wherein_o it_o consist_v i_o answer_v first_o in_o the_o general_n that_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n answ_n and_o of_o christ_n consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n especial_o and_o not_o in_o temporal_a and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n the_o curse_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o do_v befall_v man_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o in_o outward_a affliction_n and_o bodily_a trouble_n so_o much_o as_o in_o spiritual_a misery_n blindness_n of_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o consist_v much_o in_o outward_a thing_n as_o in_o spiritual_a who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n indeed_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o moses_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n he_o bless_v they_o much_o in_o temporal_a blessing_n in_o the_o 28._o of_o deuteronomy_n and_o the_o 2._o verse_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o and_o overtake_v thou_o if_o thou_o shall_v hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n what_o blessing_n be_v those_o bless_a shall_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o city_n and_o bless_v shall_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o field_n bless_v shall_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o ground_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o cattle_n the_o increase_n of_o thy_o kine_n and_o the_o flock_n of_o thy_o sheep_n bless_v shall_v be_v thy_o basket_n and_o thy_o store_n thus_o he_o go_v on_o in_o outward_a blessing_n but_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o gospel_n and_o consider_v the_o blessing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o lay_v they_o together_o with_o moses_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o matthew_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n etc._n etc._n bless_a be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n bless_v be_v those_o that_o mourn_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v comfort_v indeed_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o earth_n come_v be_v at_o the_o 5._o vers_n but_o he_o return_v again_o to_o spiritual_a blessing_n bless_a be_v they_o which_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v fill_v bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o heart_n for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n here_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n this_o be_v the_o stream_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o run_v this_o way_n when_o the_o lord_n bless_v a_o man_n he_o give_v he_o that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n man_n be_v more_o spiritual_a than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o gospel-blessing_n they_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n every_o thing_n give_v and_o communicate_v to_o another_o according_a to_o what_o it_o have_v itself_o the_o sun_n communicate_v light_a unto_o the_o world_n because_o it_o have_v light_v itself_o and_o man_n communicate_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n unto_o his_o child_n because_o he_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n himself_o so_o our_o lord_n christ_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o communicate_v according_a unto_o what_o he_o have_v himself_o and_o his_o blessing_n especial_o consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o he_o do_v bless_v indeed_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n that_o be_v mix_v with_o temporal_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o abraham_n so_o now_o outward_a blessing_n be_v throw_v in_o as_o a_o overplus_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o they_o be_v not_o spiritual_a in_o their_o nature_n they_o be_v spiritual_a in_o their_o end_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v a_o spiritual_a blessing_n but_o more_o particular_o if_o yet_o ask_v i_o wherein_o this_o

they_o shall_v see_v god_n see_v of_o god_n be_v a_o blessing_n out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n a_o gospel-blessign_a and_o what_o be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o see_v god_n in_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o hebrew_n to_o see_v it_o be_v ordinary_o use_v for_o to_o enjoy_v in_o the_o 4._o psalm_n who_o will_v show_v we_o any_o good_a the_o word_n in_o the_o hebrew_n be_v

second_o place_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o priest_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o they_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v 6.27_o numb_a 6.27_o they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o bless_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v

the_o 6._o of_o number_n on_o this_o wise_a shall_v you_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o and_o at_o the_o 27._o verse_n they_o

the_o blessing_n but_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n beyond_o all_o the_o high-priest_n that_o ever_o be_v before_o he_o in_o this_o respect_n too_o where_o he_o do_v bless_v he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n in_o the_o five_o place_n this_o our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v god_n and_o man_n look_v how_o god_n bless_v so_o do_v he_o bless_v in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o god_n the_o father_n bless_v he_o say_v unto_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o blessed_v increase_n and_o multiply_v still_o when_o he_o blessed_v increase_v and_o multiply_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o high-preist_n when_o he_o come_v to_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n or_o

you_o ask_v i_o wherein_o the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o christ_n be_v express_v unto_o his_o people_n under_o their_o temptation_n i_o answer_v answ_n 1_o first_o in_o the_o order_n of_o their_o

satan_n can_v put_v the_o least_o dram_n into_o any_o temptation_n but_o as_o it_o be_v measure_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v plain_o in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 10._o chapter_n and_o the_o 13._o verse_n but_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a etc._n etc._n that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o 139_o psal_n 139_o the_o psalmist_n david_n say_v search_v i_o o_o lord_n and_o prove_v i_o that_o be_v say_v gregory_n first_n o_o lord_n look_v upon_o my_o strength_n and_o then_o if_o i_o must_v be_v tempt_v suffer_v i_o to_o be_v tempt_v according_a to_o my_o ability_n christ_n do_v measure_n out_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o his_o people_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n second_o as_o he_o do_v measure_n out_o their_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n so_o he_o do_v also_o mortify_v their_o temptation_n and_o weaken_v they_o as_o they_o come_v through_o his_o hand_n mortify_v they_o before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o his_o disciple_n and_o people_n before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o you_o and_o upon_o this_o account_n partly_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o christ_n that_o give_v victory_n because_o our_o enemy_n be_v overcome_v before_o he_o strike_v and_o his_o blow_n be_v

mortify_v and_o weaken_v before_o it_o do_v come_v it_o they_o the_o sting_n tooth_n and_o the_o poison_n be_v take_v out_o three_o he_o do_v not_o only_o thus_o mortify_v and_o weaken_v a_o temptation_n before_o it_o do_v come_v at_o we_o but_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o he_o may_v be_v discern_v and_o so_o overcome_v satan_n tempt_v adam_n and_o eve_n but_o he_o tempt_v in_o a_o serpent_n and_o so_o adam_n may_v easy_o have_v discern_v the_o hand_n of_o satan_n in_o it_o for_o adam_n know_v all_o the_o creature_n he_o give_v they_o

in_o the_o business_n and_o so_o now_o though_o god_n do_v suffer_v satan_n to_o tempt_v his_o people_n yet_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o the_o black_a

christ_n do_v set_v he_o his_o time_n &_o the_o time_n of_o his_o temptation_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 20._o chapter_n of_o the_o
