in_o unto_o you_o to_o take_v off_o your_o thought_n from_o the_o present_a duty_n he_o will_v let_v your_o thought_n wander_v in_o prayer_n upon_o good_a thing_n that_o you_o may_v be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o that_o prayer_n and_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o good_a and_o holy_a motion_n in_o you_o whilst_o you_o be_v hear_v a_o sermon_n that_o they_o may_v divert_v your_o thought_n from_o the_o present_a sermon_n here_o our_o deceitful_a heart_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o think_v that_o those_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n oh_o cunning_a devil_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o come_v from_o satan_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v no_o such_o office_n to_o draw_v away_o man_n mind_n from_o hear_v the_o word_n nor_o to_o trouble_v man_n mind_n in_o prayer_n with_o thought_n impertinent_a 6._o satan_n make_v choice_n of_o such_o instrument_n to_o tempt_v by_o as_o be_v likely_a to_o be_v most_o effectual_a thus_o you_o know_v he_o do_v 9_o gen_n 3._o 6._o 1_o

our_o friend_n to_o do_v we_o hurt_v by_o he_o tempt_v not_o only_o by_o himself_o but_o by_o instrument_n and_o not_o only_o by_o such_o as_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o we_o but_o by_o those_o who_o be_v near_a in_o relation_n and_o by_o those_o most_o he_o can_v make_v a_o friend_n a_o child_n a_o wife_n instrumental_a for_o our_o ruin_n as_o saul_n marry_v his_o daughter_n to_o david_n that_o she_o may_v be_v a_o snare_n to_o he_o 21._o 1_o sam._n 18._o 21._o 6._o satan_n tempt_v we_o by_o our_o own_o self_n he_o make_v use_v of_o our_o own_o reason_n or_o understanding_n to_o deceive_v ourselves_o he_o draw_v reason_n out_o of_o our_o own_o bowel_n to_o destroy_v we_o and_o here_o you_o have_v the_o first_o particular_a where_o you_o find_v how_o busy_a satan_n be_v and_o how_o skilful_a a_o artist_n satan_n be_v to_o undermine_v we_o he_o be_v a_o very_a intelligent_a creature_n 2._o satan_n be_v arm_v with_o malice_n against_o soul_n that_o be_v a_o reason_n 7._o 2_o particular_a psal_n 41._o 7._o that_o set_v he_o upon_o devise_v device_n against_o we_o as_o david_n say_v all_o that_o hate_v i_o whisper_v together_o against_o i_o against_o i_o do_v they_o devise_v my_o hurt_n and_o in_o another_o place_n while_o 13._o psal_n 31._o 13._o they_o take_v counsel_n together_o against_o i_o they_o devise_v to_o take_v away_o my_o life_n so_o that_o hatred_n and_o malice_n be_v the_o root_n of_o plot_v and_o evil_a device_n against_o one_o when_o we_o hate_v one_o and_o bear_v he_o ill_a will_n than_o we_o set_v upon_o device_n against_o he_o now_o satan_n be_v full_a of_o malice_n against_o god_n and_o then_o against_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n 1._o his_o malice_n against_o god_n to_o tempt_v man_n be_v a_o pleasure_n to_o his_o malice_n think_v himself_o by_o this_o mean_n somewhat_o revenge_v of_o god_n as_o he_o that_o deface_v the_o picture_n of_o his_o enemy_n when_o he_o can_v come_v at_o his_o person_n ease_v his_o spleen_n a_o little_a so_o the_o dog_n gnaw_v the_o stone_n that_o can_v reach_v the_o thrower_n so_o satan_n make_v it_o his_o work_n to_o raze_v god_n image_n out_o of_o man_n because_o he_o can_v reach_v god_n himself_o 2._o satan_n be_v boundless_a in_o his_o malice_n against_o god_n people_n and_o against_o the_o church_n of_o god_n therefore_o say_v paul_n god_n be_v 13._o 1_o cor._n 10._o 13._o faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v namely_o by_o satan_n above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v satan_n will_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n lie_v more_o upon_o you_o than_o you_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v satan_n will_v break_v your_o back_n if_o he_o be_v let_v alone_o but_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v it_o observe_v here_o these_o four_o thing_n 1._o satan_n extreme_a malice_n be_v see_v in_o tempt_v we_o against_o god_n and_o in_o tempt_a god_n against_o we_o he_o do_v not_o only_o tempt_v we_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n that_o be_v malice_n enough_o but_o when_o we_o little_o think_v of_o it_o when_o we_o be_v asleep_a or_o in_o our_o business_n he_o be_v try_v and_o tempt_a god_n against_o we_o o_o extreme_a malice_n thus_o god_n himself_o acknowledge_v in_o job_n thou_o move_v 3._o job_n 2._o 3._o i_o against_o he_o to_o destroy_v he_o without_o cause_n pure_a malice_n stir_v up_o satan_n against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n though_o he_o always_o pretend_v somewhat_o in_o they_o yet_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o satan_n have_v two_o name_n in_o scripture_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o tempter_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d slanderer_n or_o accuser_n note_v his_o two_o special_a work_n temptation_n accusation_n he_o solicit_v good_a man_n to_o do_v evil_a against_o god_n hence_o he_o have_v his_o name_n the_o tempter_n and_o he_o solicit_v god_n to_o conceive_v evil_a of_o good_a man_n and_o hence_o he_o have_v his_o name_n the_o slanderer_n or_o accuser_n 2._o when_o satan_n can_v obtain_v against_o we_o by_o one_o mean_n he_o endeavour_v it_o by_o another_o he_o will_v not_o give_v off_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o one_o game_n he_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o give_v his_o cause_n over_o for_o lose_v because_o he_o can_v carry_v it_o at_o first_o he_o will_v try_v and_o try_v again_o as_o it_o be_v with_o balaak_n when_o he_o send_v for_o balaam_n to_o curse_v the_o 27._o numb_a 23._o 27._o people_n and_o see_v the_o business_n do_v not_o prosper_v balaam_n can_v not_o curse_v they_o he_o bring_v he_o to_o another_o place_n come_v faith_n he_o i_o pray_v thou_o i_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o another_o place_n peradventure_o it_o will_v please_v god_n that_o thou_o may_v curse_v i_o they_o from_o thence_o though_o you_o can_v not_o do_v it_o in_o one_o place_n you_o may_v in_o another_o satan_n if_o he_o can_v work_v his_o will_n one_o way_n will_v try_v a_o second_o or_o three_o and_o observe_v that_o when_o satan_n tri_v a_o second_o mean_n after_o a_o first_o he_o tri_v a_o way_n more_o probable_a and_o efficacious_a for_o his_o end_n than_o the_o former_a 3._o when_o a_o weak_a will_n not_o do_v it_o he_o provide_v strong_a mean_n as_o god_n in_o punish_v or_o chastise_v sinner_n when_o a_o lesser_a judgement_n will_v not_o humble_v they_o he_o send_v a_o great_a god_n come_v not_o only_o with_o another_o but_o with_o sore_a judgement_n i_o f_o you_o will_v not_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o hearken_v unto_o i_o than_o i_o will_v punish_v you_o seven_o 18._o leu._n 26._o 18._o time_n more_o for_o your_o sin_n so_o satan_n if_o you_o will_v not_o hearken_v unto_o he_o in_o one_o temptation_n he_o will_v tempt_v you_o seven_o time_n more_o and_o seven_o time_n strong_a as_o he_o do_v job_n 19_o job_n 2._o 5._o job_n 1._o 14_o 15_o 16_o 19_o before_o he_o get_v leave_v to_o touch_v job_n cattle_n and_o good_n and_o to_o touch_v job_n child_n son_n and_o daughter_n here_o be_v one_o great_a than_o the_o former_a for_o a_o man_n child_n be_v more_o than_o all_o that_o he_o have_v in_o the_o world_n beside_o a_o man_n child_n be_v himself_o in_o every_o child_n be_v the_o father_n multiply_v the_o child_n be_v the_o father_n bowel_n and_o therefore_o this_o affliction_n reach_v to_o the_o very_a bowel_n of_o job_n then_o after_o all_o this_o he_o get_v leave_v to_o smite_v job_n body_n put_v forth_o thy_o hand_n now_o and_o touch_v his_o bone_n and_o his_o 5._o chap._n 2._o 5._o flesh_n and_o he_o will_v curse_v thou_o to_o thy_o face_n and_o this_o be_v great_a still_o than_o the_o former_a job_n child_n be_v near_o to_o he_o but_o himself_o be_v near_o and_o therefore_o say_v satan_n touch_v his_o bone_n and_o his_o flesh_n that_o be_v afflict_v his_o body_n the_o bone_n and_o the_o flesh_n be_v the_o two_o chief_a part_n the_o material_a part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o they_o the_o whole_a fabric_n do_v consist_v the_o bone_n be_v as_o the_o stone_n or_o timber_n in_o this_o house_n and_o the_o flesh_n be_v as_o the_o lime_n and_o mortar_n fill_v of_o it_o up_o touch_v this_o faith_n satan_n and_o here_o he_o aim_v at_o sore_a affliction_n for_o if_o he_o have_v say_v only_o thus_o
