and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n be_v to_o blame_v who_o deny_v our_o first_o concupiscence_n to_o be_v sin_n here_o they_o object_n there_o be_v a_o double_a concupiscence_n object_n 1_o viz._n

answ_n the_o general_a cause_n hereof_o be_v either_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o to_o show_v his_o deity_n and_o power_n in_o conquer_a satan_n we_o and_o that_o either_o to_o overcome_v and_o

nature_n of_o temptation_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n 1_o because_o it_o may_v be_v without_o sin_n as_o be_v show_v in_o the_o former_a question_n and_o 2_o because_o christ_n be_v tempt_v with_o who_o god_n be_v not_o angry_a second_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o tempter_n that_o be_v first_o his_o malice_n he_o be_v our_o enemy_n as_o follow_v afterward_o second_o his_o weakness_n that_o now_o be_v conquer_v by_o christ_n he_o may_v be_v overcome_v of_o those_o who_o be_v christ_n three_o the_o manner_n of_o overcome_a he_o and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o

of_o they_o quest_n 5_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v what_o shall_v we_o think_v then_o of_o those_o that_o be_v not_o tempt_v answ_n i_o answer_v we_o may_v safe_o think_v that_o neither_o god_n care_v for_o they_o because_o he_o do_v not_o exercise_v they_o neither_o the_o devil_n fear_v they_o because_o he_o meddle_v not_o with_o they_o as_o in_o a_o commonwealth_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o a_o traitor_n to_o be_v belove_v of_o the_o enemy_n so_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n those_o who_o the_o devil_n spare_v may_v just_o be_v suspect_v of_o disloyalty_n towards_o their_o heavenly_a sovereign_n quest_n 6_o how_o may_v we_o know_v who_o be_v tempt_v and_o who_o be_v not_o answ_n i_o answer_v by_o these_o mark_n first_o he_o that_o sin_n with_o greediness_n ephes_n 4.19_o be_v not_o tempt_v he_o unto_o who_o sin_n be_v pleasant_a and_o to_o wallow_v in_o the_o puddle_n of_o iniquity_n be_v delectable_a be_v not_o tempt_v because_o he_o run_v headlong_o of_o himself_o unto_o wickedness_n and_o sin_n second_o those_o that_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o a_o hypocritical_a pride_n think_v themselves_o to_o be_v saint_n because_o they_o seem_v so_o unto_o man_n be_v assault_v with_o a_o strong_a temptation_n which_o prevail_v against_o they_o yet_o they_o can_v be_v call_v soldier_n because_o they_o fight_v not_o neither_o struggle_v against_o this_o temptation_n but_o willing_o give_v way_n unto_o it_o three_o those_o that_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n but_o do_v it_o negligent_o be_v neither_o wary_a nor_o circumspect_a in_o their_o life_n and_o

unto_o we_o how_o do_v quest_n 5_o he_o give_v counsel_n or_o advice_n unto_o we_o for_o no_o such_o thing_n appear_v at_o all_o i_o answer_v he_o do_v not_o come_v unto_o we_o answ_n or_o persuade_v we_o visible_o but_o by_o instrument_n by_o his_o enticement_n which_o be_v either_o external_a or_o internal_a first_o the_o devil_n have_v external_a allurement_n to_o entice_v we_o by_o as_o for_o

unto_o he_o and_o seek_v aid_n and_o succour_v of_o he_o and_o not_o from_o the_o devil_n second_o the_o devil_n have_v internal_a enticement_n to_o allure_v we_o viz._n first_o our_o own_o evil_a concupiscence_n so_o long_o as_o sin_n be_v please_v unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o fight_v against_o this_o lust_n which_o war_n against_o our_o soul_n 1â—_n soul_n 1_o pet._n 2_o 1â—_n second_o our_o own_o wisdom_n for_o reason_n dictate_v and_o teach_v many_o thing_n unto_o we_o contrary_a unto_o god_n word_n yea_o often_o time_n those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o false_a

it_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v abolish_v thus_o as_o christ_n can_v bring_v light_a out_o of_o darkness_n and_o good_a out_o of_o evil_a so_o the_o devil_n can_v suck_v evil_a from_o good_a and_o with_o the_o spider_n change_v wholesome_a juice_n into_o mortal_a poison_n second_o christ_n will_v not_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n because_o the_o counsel_n give_v be_v inconvenient_a and_o therefore_o though_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o may_v have_v be_v do_v yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o circumstance_n it_o may_v become_v unlawful_a teach_v we_o that_o that_o thing_n which_o
