and_o in_o reason_n it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o why_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v accept_v that_o for_o his_o worship_n which_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n but_o denise_v by_o man_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o devil_n from_o these_o two_o rule_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o best_a of_o the_o three_o forename_a religion_n be_v no_o worship_n of_o god_n

and_o in_o many_o other_o point_n of_o their_o religion_n there_o be_v apparent_a repugnancy_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o of_o their_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n we_o may_v as_o true_o say_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v of_o heathen_a idol_n worship_n that_o they_o sacrifice_v not_o unto_o god_n but_o to_o the_o devil_n for_o therein_o be_v as_o vile_a accurse_a and_o abominable_a idolatry_n as_o ever_o be_v devise_v by_o man_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o devil_n do_v mighty_o prevail_v in_o cause_v man_n to_o worship_v he_o yea_o he_o prevail_v thus_o not_o only_o in_o

the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n by_o the_o bait_n of_o honour_n profit_n and_o pleasure_n he_o steal_v man_n heart_n from_o god_n and_o so_o herein_o they_o do_v the_o will_n of_o the_o devil_n must_v needs_o worship_v he_o for_o look_v whereon_o a_o man_n seat_v his_o
themselves_o unto_o god_n for_o the_o prevent_n or_o remove_v of_o some_o heavy_a judgement_n thus_o the_o jew_n fast_v 6._o sometime_o for_o one_o day_n sometime_o for_o three_o day_n and_o three_o

be_v avouch_v 1._o that_o a_o man_n may_v fast_o month_n yea_o a_o whole_a year_n together_o without_o meat_n or_o drink_n and_o yet_o live_v but_o we_o may_v persuade_v ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o true_a now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n which_o be_v yet_o more_o during_o this_o fast_o feel_v no_o faintness_n nor_o weak_z of_o his_o body_n as_o we_o ordinary_o do_v with_o a_o little_a abstinence_n so_o that_o his_o fast_n be_v not_o ordinary_a but_o miraculous_a altogether_o the_o reason_n why_o christ_n fast_v thus_o long_o in_o the_o wilderness_n may_v be_v these_o day_n first_o that_o he_o may_v perform_v his_o ministry_n which_o now_o he_o be_v to_o begin_v with_o more_o reverence_n and_o authority_n for_o this_o cause_n will_v god_n have_v moses_n to_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n before_o he_o deliver_v the_o law_n write_v in_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o so_o must_v elias_n do_v before_o he_o do_v restore_v religion_n in_o his_o day_n second_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v he_o be_v no_o whit_n inferior_a to_o moses_n and_o elias_n and_o three_o that_o he_o may_v show_v his_o full_a consent_n with_o they_o quest._n see_v christ_n do_v far_o excel_v moses_n and_o elias_n why_o do_v he_o not_o exceed_v they_o in_o the_o length_n of_o his_o fast_n for_o threescore_o day_n or_o a_o whole_a year_n answ._n he_o do_v it_o not_o through_o want_n of_o power_n to_o have_v fast_v long_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o give_v occasion_n thereupon_o that_o any_o shall_v call_v into_o question_n the_o truth_n of_o his_o manhood_n which_o may_v easy_o have_v happen_v if_o he_o have_v fast_v a_o whole_a year_n together_o the_o use_n hereon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v build_v their_o lent_n fast_o but_o very_o fond_o for_o first_o christ_n do_v not_o thus_o fast_o to_o give_v we_o example_n to_o follow_v he_o herein_o but_o to_o prepare_v himself_o to_o the_o great_a work_n of_o his_o ministry_n second_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o christ_n fast_n and_o they_o christ_n fast_v thus_o but_o once_o and_o that_o by_o the_o instinct_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o keep_v their_o fast_o yearly_a and_o that_o on_o their_o own_o head_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a fast_o without_o all_o meat_n or_o drink_n but_o they_o be_v a_o mocke-fast_a for_o they_o eat_v the_o fine_a fish_n and_o other_o dainty_n and_o drink_v wine_n wherein_o be_v as_o much_o nourishment_n to_o the_o body_n and_o as_o good_a as_o in_o flesh_n neither_o can_v they_o just_o build_v it_o on_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o they_o use_v to_o fast_v at_o least_o in_o some_o place_n but_o two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o easter_n and_o their_o lent_n fast_o be_v not_o ordain_v

without_o any_o mention_n of_o a_o vision_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o devil_n carry_v christ_n to_o a_o high_a mountain_n may_v be_v these_o first_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o

take_v up_o moses_n into_o mount_n nebo_n from_o whence_o he_o show_v he_o all_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n so_o satan_n that_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o go_v beyond_o god_n take_v up_o christ_n into_o a_o exceed_a high_a mountain_n to_o show_v he_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o second_o he_o do_v it_o for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o this_o last_o assault_n

thereof_o now_o in_o that_o satan_n transport_v the_o body_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n this_o second_o time_n child_n we_o see_v that_o by_o god_n permission_n satan_n may_v have_v power_n over_o
