instruction_n if_o you_o mark_v well_o these_o thing_n that_o sathan_n urge_v unto_o christ_n before_o this_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v of_o a_o other_o kind_n namely_o to_o concern_v himself_o and_o not_o god_n immediate_o as_o this_o do_v for_o though_o it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n unto_o god_n when_o a_o man_n be_v urge_v to_o offend_v in_o the_o least_o point_n of_o his_o religion_n yet_o it_o concern_v the_o lord_n more_o near_o when_o one_o be_v solicit_v to_o violate_v that_o worship_n and_o honour_n thereof_o he_o be_v very_o 5._o jealous_a and_o which_o he_o will_v not_o give_v unto_o a_o other_o and_o accord_v as_o it_o be_v more_o heinous_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o be_v it_o to_o be_v esteem_v a_o thing_n more_o odious_a unto_o man_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v repel_v with_o more_o courage_n which_o if_o you_o mark_v well_o you_o shall_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o combat_n for_o so_o long_o as_o sathan_n meddle_v with_o those_o thing_n that_o concern_v christ_n himself_o as_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o body_n he_o answer_v he_o though_o always_o most_o perfect_o yet_o more_o mild_o but_o when_o he_o come_v unto_o this_o point_n to_o urge_v he_o unto_o those_o thing_n which_o concern_v the_o threaten_n of_o god_n from_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o his_o creature_n and_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o glory_n and_o worship_n he_o deal_v no_o more_o mild_o &_o mecke_o but_o rebuke_v he_o in_o most_o vehement_a manner_n and_o paint_v he_o out_o in_o his_o natural_a colour_n sharp_a so_o that_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n be_v unto_o we_o a_o notable_a precedent_n how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o towards_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n whereof_o some_o be_v enemy_n think_v to_o

they_o that_o be_v our_o enemy_n for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o be_v to_o be_v pattern_n of_o all_o patience_n and_o 21._o to_o overcome_v evil_a with_o good_a we_o must_v use_v ourselves_o more_o gentle_o towards_o they_o 25._o reprove_a they_o with_o all_o long_a suffering_n and_o meekness_n to_o see_v if_o it_o will_v please_v god_n to_o grant_v they_o repentance_n &_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o if_o they_o be_v enemy_n unto_o our_o religion_n then_o be_v we_o to_o put_v on_o a_o other_o kind_n of_o behaviour_n towards_o they_o that_o be_v to_o
