it_o do_v not_o follow_v either_o if_o one_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o one_o ought_v to_o cast_v one_o self_n down_o nor_o if_o one_o cast_v one_o self_n down_o that_o one_o be_v the_o son_n

cast_v down_o a_o sin_n it_o be_v to_o cast_v one_o self_n for_o the_o other_o do_v not_o tempt_v god_n 3._o or_o may_v it_o not_o be_v lest_o our_o saviour_n shall_v think_v that_o he_o intend_v

any_o notice_n who_o he_o be_v 4._o or_o be_v it_o not_o because_o he_o will_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n so_o that_o may_v occasion_v our_o saviour_n confidence_n in_o god_n or_o if_o you_o will_v occasion_n the_o presence_n of_o the_o holy_a angel_n for_o fear_v they_o shall_v assist_v our_o saviour_n or_o discover_v he_o or_o because_o he_o love_v not_o their_o company_n for_o all_o these_o he_o know_v will_v have_v come_v to_o pass_v if_o he_o have_v cast_v our_o saviour_n down_o for_o suppose_v our_o saviour_n only_o to_o be_v a_o very_a holy_a man_n he_o know_v that_o the_o angel_n in_o such_o a_o case_n will_v bear_v he_o in_o their_o hand_n 2._o the_o advice_n of_o satan_n stand_v thus_o it_o be_v not_o for_o thou_o to_o stand_v here_o always_o and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a almost_o for_o the_o very_a wind_n will_v blow_v thou_o off_o and_o beside_o thou_o will_v be_v starve_v and_o to_o get_v down_o be_v dangerous_a for_o how_o can_v one_o get_v down_o from_o such_o a_o

thyself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o all_o this_o people_n if_o in_o thy_o strive_v to_o get_v down_o safe_o thou_o shall_v chance_v to_o fall_v then_o indeed_o the_o angel_n will_v keep_v thou_o from_o any_o hurt_n god_n providence_n over_o thou_o may_v appear_v but_o thy_o confidence_n in_o he_o will_v not_o so_o appear_v nay_o thy_o diffidence_n will_v haply_o too_o much_o appear_v for_o the_o people_n see_v thou_o on_o the_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n suppose_v that_o thou_o come_v up_o for_o some_o such_o end_n to_o do_v something_o of_o note_n not_o that_o thou_o wente_v up_o

for_o it_o be_v write_v 1._o the_o devil_n use_v not_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o other_o temptation_n in_o the_o former_a he_o do_v not_o because_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o discover_v his_o great_a esteem_n of_o scripture_n now_o he_o have_v in_o the_o latter_a he_o do_v not_o for_o he_o can_v not_o find_v any_o place_n fit_a to_o persuade_v to_o idolatry_n 2._o the_o reason_n why_o he_o use_v it_o here_o be_v because_o he_o will_v see_v if_o he_o can_v beat_v our_o saviour_n at_o his_o own_o weapon_n and_o because_o he_o know_v that_o he_o will_v be_v more_o move_v with_o a_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o since_o man_n live_v by_o every_o word_n that_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n here_o be_v the_o word_n that_o proceed_v from_o god_n it_o be_v write_v it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o you_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v death_n though_o you_o cast_v yourself_o down_o 3._o haply_o he_o may_v think_v easy_o to_o deceive_v our_o saviour_n for_o he_o know_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v never_o bring_v up_o in_o learning_n he_o be_v neither_o like_a moses_n bring_v up_o in_o all_o the_o learning_n of_o the_o egyptian_n for_o he_o come_v thence_o very_o young_a nor_o as_o st_n paul_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o gamaliel_n but_o with_o his_o father_n joseph_n luke_n 2._o ult_n 4._o he_o bring_v this_o not_o only_o as_o if_o our_o saviour_n may_v but_o aught_o so_o to_o do_v as_o if_o this_o have_v be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o he_o ought_v to_o fulfil_v it_o 5._o you_o may_v see_v how_o expert_a the_o devil_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o in_o the_o whole_a bible_n he_o can_v not_o have_v choose_v a_o fit_a place_n for_o the_o temptation_n 6._o that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v the_o cause_n good_a because_o they_o that_o be_v the_o great_a heretic_n do_v bring_v scripture_n but_o like_o satan_n where_o they_o bring_v scripture_n once_o they_o bring_v and_o stand_v upon_o reason_n twice_o as_o much_o but_o you_o art_n to_o try_v whether_o they_o right_o allege_v it_o he_o shall_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_n you_o see_v the_o wonderful_a love_n of_o god_n to_o those_o that_o

where_o herod_n rule_v for_o he_o may_v expect_v the_o same_o usage_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o the_o reason_n why_o herod_n persecute_v john_n our_o saviour_n never_o do_v viz._n reprove_v herod_n for_o his_o incestuous_a marriage_n but_o the_o reason_n which_o make_v the_o jew_n so_o incense_v viz._n the_o reprove_v of_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o not_o stand_v for_o the_o ceremony_n our_o saviour_n be_v no_o less_o exact_a than_o john_n he_o depart_v into_o galilee_n the_o place_n from_o whence_o he_o go_v be_v most_o reasonable_o think_v to_o be_v judea_n from_o whence_o he_o go_v

he_o leave_v nazareth_n be_v 1._o either_o because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o far_o off_o from_o the_o jew_n his_o enemy_n 2._o or_o because_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v do_v so_o much_o good_a there_o for_o a_o prophet_n be_v not_o honour_v in_o his_o own_o country_n 3._o or_o to_o fulfil_v the_o prophecy_n 1._o we_o may_v learn_v that_o temporal_a privilege_n do_v not_o obtain_v any_o thing_n

great_a 2._o christ_n leave_v his_o kindred_n acquaintance_n and_o father_n house_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o dwell_v in_o capernaum_n he_o dwell_v there_o because_o it_o be_v very_o remote_a from_o jerusalem_n where_o dwell_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n his_o enemy_n the_o reason_n why_o he_o dwell_v there_o rather_o than_o elsewhere_o thereabouts_o be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o place_n of_o most_o concourse_n of_o people_n be_v the_o metropolis_n of_o galilee_n the_o name_n signify_v the_o city_n of_o consolation_n and_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v build_v in_o joshua_n time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o border_n of_o zabulon_n and_o nephthali_n the_o reason_n why_o st_n matthew_n do_v not_o set_v down_o to_o which_o tribe_n capcrnaum_n do_v belong_v may_v be_v 1._o to_o make_v the_o prophecy_n plain_a to_o be_v understand_v to_o set_v it_o down_o in_o those_o word_n for_o if_o a_o great_a light_n appear_v in_o the_o confine_n of_o zabulon_n which_o be_v next_o to_o nephthali_n or_o in_o the_o confine_n of_o nephthali_n which_o be_v next_o to_o zabulon_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v see_v of_o both_o 2._o because_o haply_o that_o city_n may_v not_o belong_v to_o either_o tribe_n whole_o but_o to_o both_o as_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n so_o also_o other_o city_n belong_v to_o two_o tribe_n as_o appear_v joshua_n 17.8_o 9_o and_o as_o among_o we_o some_o town_n belong_v part_n to_o one_o shire_n and_o part_n to_o another_o verse_n 14._o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v speak_v by_o esaias_n the_o prophet_n say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v the_o phrase_n seem_v strange_a for_o it_o seem_v more_o likely_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o so_o it_o be_v fulfil_v then_o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v for_o it_o seem_v that_o thing_n be_v foretell_v because_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o not_o that_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o they_o be_v foretell_v i_o answer_v that_o divers_a thing_n that_o god_n foretell_v he_o do_v not_o foretell_v to_o that_o end_n that_o he_o may_v prove_v himself_o omniscient_a and_o to_o know_v thing_n before_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o if_o so_o than_o thing_n shall_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o they_o be_v foretold_v but_o be_v foretold_v because_o they_o be_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o god_n foretell_v they_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o do_v they_o and_o rather_o to_o prove_v his_o omnipotence_n then_o his_o omniscience_n or_o his_o goodness_n so_o that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o capernaum_n to_o perform_v that_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v in_o the_o prophet_n time_n for_o although_o the_o perform_n of_o that_o prophecy_n be_v not_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o christ_n dwelling_n in_o capernaum_n yet_o have_v there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n that_o have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n this_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n first_o intend_v to_o do_v good_a to_o a_o man_n or_o people_n before_o he_o promise_v so_o to_o do_v and_o promise_v so_o to_o do_v if_o at_o all_o he_o promise_v before_o he_o do_v it_o god_n intention_n to_o do_v good_a consider_v his_o immutability_n be_v the_o primary_n cause_n of_o the_o do_v that_o good_a which_o he_o intend_v but_o his_o intention_n lay_v no_o obligation_n whereby_o any_o man_n may_v challenge_v of_o he_o so_o to_o do_v but_o his_o promise_n do_v lay_v a_o obligation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o good_a sense_n to_o say_v he_o do_v so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v promise_v if_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o so_o it_o be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v prophesy_v it_o have_v only_o show_v god_n omniscience_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v but_o by_o be_v say_v

have_v promise_v again_o if_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o so_o it_o be_v fulfil_v it_o not_o import_v any_o act_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o bring_v of_o it_o so_o to_o pass_v but_o only_o of_o his_o prescience_n in_o know_v that_o it_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v it_o do_v no_o way_n oblige_v or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o much_o those_o that_o receive_v that_o blessing_n to_o
