up_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o thorn_n and_o thistle_n which_o be_v our_o sin_n be_v pluck_v up_o and_o throw_v away_o that_o this_o holy_a seed_n may_v be_v sow_v in_o our_o heart_n in_o place_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o this_o seed_n be_v a_o tender_a plant_n wherefore_o o_o man_n look_v diligent_o to_o it_o and_o weed_v up_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v like_a to_o destroy_v the_o same_o in_o thou_o and_o as_o for_o the_o devil_n carry_v christ_n up_o into_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o set_v he_o upon_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o show_v he_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n and_o say_v that_o those_o kingdom_n be_v give_v to_o he_o this_o holy_a city_n be_v thyself_o o_o man_n and_o thou_o have_v give_v it_o to_o the_o devil_n and_o he_o have_v beget_v many_o wicked_a generation_n and_o kingdom_n in_o thou_o which_o be_v he_o and_o christ_n take_v thy_o sinful_a nature_n upon_o he_o to_o destroy_v it_o the_o devil_n be_v in_o that_o nature_n of_o sin_n think_v to_o exalt_v jesus_n show_v he_o what_o kingdom_n he_o have_v get_v in_o that_o nature_n for_o which_o he_o will_v have_v he_o worship_v he_o and_o he_o will_v give_v he_o they_o all_o but_o he_o reprove_v he_o and_o care_v not_o for_o his_o wicked_a kingdom_n but_o crucify_v he_o and_o they_o and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o this_o nature_n and_o make_v this_o his_o humanity_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o say_v get_v thou_o from_o i_o satan_n for_o i_o will_v worship_v my_o lord_n and_o god_n so_o christ_n the_o divine_a power_n of_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o sinful_a nature_n have_v upon_o he_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o think_v to_o destroy_v he_o in_o it_o so_o the_o devil_n and_o he_o be_v in_o one_o nature_n strive_v for_o victory_n who_o shall_v have_v this_o nature_n for_o his_o possession_n and_o dwell_a place_n the_o divinity_n have_v the_o victory_n when_o the_o humanity_n consent_v

therefore_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o stay_v with_o the_o devil_n still_o thou_o may_v for_o he_o will_v not_o pull_v thou_o out_o of_o his_o claw_n against_o thy_o will_n wherefore_o look_v to_o it_o o_o man_n for_o there_o stand_v before_o thou_o life_n and_o death_n choose_v life_n and_o live_v for_o ever_o but_o if_o thou_o love_v death_n thou_o have_v death_n for_o ever_o as_o concern_v the_o ass_n that_o christ_n take_v away_o and_o his_o curse_v the_o figtree_n it_o seem_v strange_a in_o the_o letter_n because_o it_o contradict_v the_o truth_n for_o the_o truth_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v use_v no_o violence_n nor_o take_v any_o man_n good_n from_o he_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o curse_v but_o bless_v but_o we_o see_v here_o that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o ass_n that_o be_v bind_v and_o curse_v the_o figtree_n against_o reason_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fig_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v therefore_o certain_o there_o be_v another_o mystery_n in_o it_o for_o it_o can_v be_v true_a according_a to_o the_o history_n that_o christ_n shall_v do_v such_o unjust_a thing_n for_o no_o falsehood_n nor_o guile_n be_v find_v in_o his_o hand_n therefore_o this_o

of_o god_n on_o which_o before_o christ_n come_v into_o thy_o humanity_n balam_n do_v ride_v upon_o and_o do_v kick_v and_o spurn_v this_o innocence_n without_o a_o cause_n therefore_o be_v thou_o o_o

nor_o can_v it_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n till_o christ_n come_v in_o it_o and_o make_v it_o endure_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v it_o seem_v to_o die_v and_o vanish_v away_o for_o this_o figtree_n or_o humanity_n can_v not_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n till_o christ_n come_v again_o in_o spirit_n to_o vivifie_v and_o renew_v the_o same_o for_o he_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o
