in_o thy_o young_a day_n he_o can_v say_v to_o the_o covetous_a man_n pull_v down_o thy_o barn_n and_o make_v they_o more_o large_a and_o then_o cry_v a_o peace_n to_o thy_o soul_n he_o can_v say_v

answer_v none_o for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n yet_o as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n he_o be_v also_o tempt_v with_o we_o and_o that_o for_o these_o four_o cause_n first_o ad_fw-la cautelam_fw-la 2._o in_o auxilium_fw-la 3._o ad_fw-la exemplum_fw-la 4._o in_o fiduciam_fw-la the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v tempt_v in_o our_o flesh_n for_o our_o caution_n and_o for_o warn_a sake_n that_o look_v on_o he_o no_o man_n may_v think_v himself_o set_v free_a from_o temptation_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v the_o cedar_n of_o lybanon_n how_o shall_v he_o spare_v we_o poor_a isop_n bush_n second_o he_o be_v tempt_v for_o our_o assistance_n and_o aid_n for_o what_o shall_v it_o avail_v a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o his_o enemy_n approach_v against_o he_o unless_o he_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v he_o therefore_o christ_n come_v and_o in_o our_o flesh_n be_v tempt_v also_o that_o he_o may_v deliver_v we_o in_o all_o our_o temptation_n both_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o from_o he_o who_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n the_o devil_n three_o he_o be_v tempt_v for_o our_o example_n for_o as_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o learn_v of_o i_o for_o i_o be_o mecke_n and_o lowly_a and_o as_o the_o evangelist_n st_n john_n say_v of_o his_o wash_n of_o his_o disciple_n foot_n i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o example_n that_o you_o shall_v do_v one_o to_o another_o as_o i_o have_v do_v to_o you_o so_o also_o have_v he_o suffer_v our_o temptation_n and_o be_v tempt_v like_o unto_o we_o that_o he_o may_v leave_v we_o a_o example_n to_o follow_v his_o foot_n step_n 1._o pet._n 2.21_o four_o he_o be_v tempt_v for_o our_o comfort_n and_o assurance_n of_o victory_n for_o it_o be_v write_v heb._n 4.15_o we_o have_v not_o such_o a_o high_a priest_n as_o can_v be_v touch_v with_o our_o infirmity_n but_o he_o be_v tempt_v in_o all_o thing_n like_v unto_o we_o yet_o without_o sin_n let_v we_o therefore_o come_v bold_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v grace_n to_o help_v we_o in_o the_o time_n of_o need_n the_o second_o question_n be_v this_o who_o be_v those_o among_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n who_o can_v true_o say_v that_o they_o be_v tempt_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v if_o temptation_n be_v a_o fight_n those_o only_o be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v tempt_v who_o do_v brave_o &_o courageous_o resist_v and_o fight_v against_o their_o adversary_n it_o be_v not_o the_o sluggard_n that_o lie_v down_o to_o sleep_v nor_o the_o coward_n that_o run_v away_o nor_o the_o feeble_a heart_a that_o yield_v that_o can_v true_o be_v call_v the_o soldier_n of_o god_n but_o they_o only_a who_o hold_v fast_o what_o they_o have_v receive_v who_o stand_v fast_o within_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o they_o be_v make_v free_a and_o who_o continue_v constant_a unto_o the_o end_n that_o as_o the_o good_a soldier_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v receive_v the_o crown_n see_v then_o among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n who_o be_v take_v captive_a of_o satan_n at_o his_o will_n who_o be_v give_v over_o to_o their_o vile_a

billet_v for_o the_o soldier_n of_o jesus_n only_o they_o then_o in_o who_o though_o sin_n dwell_v yet_o do_v not_o reign_n be_v the_o true_a soldier_n of_o jesus_n who_o can_v with_o abraham_n refuse_v to_o be_v enrich_v from_o sodom_n and_o with_o moses_n refuse_v to_o leave_v a_o howfe_n behind_o he_o be_v worthy_a and_o shall_v be_v clothe_v in_o white_a and_o receive_v a_o white_a stone_n and_o in_o it_o a_o new_a name_n which_o no_o man_n know_v but_o he_o that_o possess_v it_o use_v now_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v concern_v man_n the_o christian_a soldier_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o his_o resistance_n alas_o there_o be_v so_o much_o in_o man_n enemy_n to_o man_n and_o so_o little_o leave_v in_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v or_o fight_v for_o he_o much_o less_o to_o triumph_v and_o conquer_v or_o subdue_v his_o enemy_n to_o he_o i_o think_v i_o can_v only_o entreat_v man_n to_o look_v continual_o on_o his_o captain_n and_o yet_o because_o he_o must_v either_o fight_v or_o else_o never_o triumph_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n of_o which_o i_o will_v advertise_v he_o first_o let_v he_o not_o thrust_v himself_o into_o temptation_n unless_o as_o david_n
