the_o apostle_n that_o they_o be_v so_o destroy_v therefore_o christ_n be_v jehovah_n the_o true_a god_n and_o do_v exist_v before_o his_o incarnation_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n they_o pretend_v whereby_o to_o weaken_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n 1._o some_o of_o they_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o create_a angel_n who_o lead_v the_o jew_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o who_o they_o tempt_v and_o sin_v against_o other_o say_v that_o moses_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o word_n christ_n and_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v in_o tempt_v he_o a_o three_o sort_n find_v fault_n with_o our_o translation_n and_o that_o this_o verse_n ought_v to_o be_v read_v either_o thus_o neither_o tempt_v you_o god_n as_o they_o tempt_v he_o or_o thus_o neither_o tempt_v you_o christ_n as_o they_o tempt_v god_n i._o as_o to_o the_o first_o evasion_n concern_v a_o create_a angel_n not_o only_o be_v there_o no_o such_o charge_n against_o they_o in_o the_o history_n as_o tempt_v of_o a_o angel_n nor_o be_v a_o angel_n any_o where_o say_v to_o be_v tempt_v by_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n who_o conduct_v they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n be_v

the_o name_n of_o the_o place_n massah_n and_o meribah_n because_o of_o the_o chide_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o because_o they_o tempt_v the_o lord_n say_v be_v the_o lord_n among_o we_o to_o pretend_v therefore_o that_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n neither_o tempt_v you_o christ_n as_o they_o tempt_v moses_n be_v neither_o agreeable_a to_o grammar_n or_o reason_n for_o the_o same_o person_n sin_v against_o by_o they_o we_o be_v caution_v not_o to_o offend_v not_o to_o sin_n after_o the_o like_a manner_n against_o the_o same_o object_n not_o to_o tempt_v christ_n as_o they_o do_v

though_o that_o manuscript_n be_v pretend_v to_o be_v very_o ancient_a there_o be_v other_o of_o great_a antiquity_n that_o read_v it_o as_o we_o do_v and_o except_o one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o ancient_a writer_n of_o the_o church_n who_o read_v it_o the_o lord_n neither_o tempt_v you_o the_o lord_n and_o explain_v it_o still_o of_o christ_n except_o they_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v against_o the_o socinian_o that_o all_o copy_n of_o this_o epistle_n manuscript_n and_o print_v and_o all_o the_o version_n of_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a father_n from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o second_o century_n until_o now_o do_v all_o read_v it_o as_o we_o do_v neither_o tempt_v you_o christ_n as_o they_o also_o tempt_v he_o but_o other_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v read_v thus_o neither_o tempt_v you_o christ_n as_o they_o tempt_v god_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o reply_v to_o this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o word_n in_o the_o text._n but_o what_o the_o socinian_o will_v gain_v if_o we_o shall_v allow_v it_o i_o can_v see_v neither_o tempt_v you_o christ_n as_o the_o jew_n tempt_v god_n hereby_o they_o equal_v at_o least_o if_o not_o prefer_v christ_n unto_o god_n as_o christian_n sin_v against_o christ_n answer_v to_o the_o jew_n sin_v against_o god_n so_o christ_n tempt_v by_o christian_n answer_n unto_o god_n tempt_v by_o the_o jew_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o sin_n and_o punishment_n of_o the_o israelite_n be_v propose_v as_o our_o warn_v the_o force_n of_o the_o example_n be_v lose_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o equal_a sin_n or_o great_a for_o we_o to_o tempt_v christ_n than_o for_o the_o israelite_n to_o tempt_v god_n and_o if_o it_o be_v propose_v as_o a_o type_n the_o argument_n be_v yet_o strong_a and_o the_o preference_n be_v give_v unto_o christ_n either_o way_n will_v conclude_v that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o creature_n and_o that_o he_o do_v exist_v before_o his_o incarnation_n otherwise_o these_o jew_n in_o the_o wilderness_n can_v not_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o and_o thus_o for_o the_o person_n sin_v against_o neither_o tempt_v you_o christ_n as_o they_o also_o tempt_v he_o sect_n iii_o what_o be_v the_o particular_a sin_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o wilderness_n here_o call_v a_o tempt_v of_o christ_n ii_o the_o particular_a sin_n refer_v to_o of_o the_o israelite_n be_v their_o impatient_a 6._o impatient_a numb_a 21.4_o 5_o 6._o murmur_a and_o discontent_n their_o dissatisfaction_n and_o complaint_n concern_v the_o way_n which_o god_n take_v to_o lead_v they_o into_o canaan_n and_o of_o the_o provision_n he_o make_v for_o they_o in_o the_o way_n and_o of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o it_o for_o in_o their_o march_n through_o the_o wilderness_n they_o have_v some_o success_n against_o the_o canaanite_n who_o come_v out_o of_o their_o own_o country_n to_o fight_v against_o they_o and_o thereupon_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o their_o victory_n they_o suppose_v they_o shall_v as_o easy_o prevail_v against_o the_o idumean_n who_o refuse_v they_o leave_v to_o pass_v through_o their_o country_n they_o hope_v that_o with_o the_o like_a success_n against_o they_o they_o may_v direct_o and_o speedy_o enter_v into_o the_o promise_a land_n but_o instead_o of_o this_o short_a and_o easy_a way_n to_o canaan_n god_n resolve_v to_o spare_v the_o idumean_n at_o this_o time_n and_o command_v the_o israelite_n to_o compass_v the_o land_n of_o edom_n and_o take_v a_o long_a circuit_n round_o the_o mountain_n of_o idumea_n upon_o this_o occasion_n we_o find_v this_o people_n break_v out_o into_o discontent_n against_o god_n their_o leader_n forget_v all_o the_o former_a wonder_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o power_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n call_v a_o tempt_a of_o christ_n who_o as_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n conduct_v they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n as_o he_o call_v the_o suffering_n and_o affliction_n which_o the_o israelite_n endure_v in_o egypt_n the_o reproach_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o commendation_n of_o moses_n by_o the_o apostle_n and_o a_o instance_n of_o his_o faith_n that_o he_o prefer_v the_o reproach_n of_o christ_n before_o the_o treasure_n of_o egypt_n upon_o this_o and_o several_a other_o occasion_n they_o complain_v and_o murmur_v and_o be_v therefore_o say_v to_o have_v tempt_v god_n ten_o time_n after_o they_o have_v see_v his_o 14.22_o his_o numb_a 14.22_o miracle_n and_o have_v abundant_a proof_n of_o his_o presence_n and_o care_n the_o jewish_a writer_n do_v particular_o reckon_v up_o the_o several_a ten_o temptation_n but_o whether_o the_o exact_a number_n of_o ten_o be_v intend_v in_o the_o expression_n be_v very_o doubtful_a it_o may_v rather_o import_v repeat_v multiply_v temptation_n as_o when_o jacob_n tell_v laban_n 31.41_o laban_n gen._n 31.41_o thou_o have_v change_v my_o wage_n ten_o time_n that_o be_v very_o frequent_o their_o sin_n may_v very_o proper_o be_v call_v a_o tempt_a of_o he_o for_o they_o be_v not_o content_a to_o go_v to_o canaaan_n in_o the_o way_n which_o
