infamy and it sheweth what name they deserue and how to bee estemed of in whom that quality is found S. Paul 2 Tim. 3. 3. foretold that in the latter daies there should be men deuils foule-mouthed men euill speakers and 1 Tim. 3. 11 he speaketh of women deuils because of their calumnious speeches In the tongue wherein Christ spake these words namely the Syriacke the fittest word that he could finde to signifie the deuils name is a word that signifieth Diuulgator so that a publisher of infamous reports is good Syriacke for the deuill as when a man lightly conceiues a reproach either forging it himselfe by misconstruction or credulously receiuing it vpon the report of others and then is not sorry for his brothers ill Math. 5. 22. but rather insulteth not considering that he himselfe may fall into the like temptations Gal. 6. 1. and so becomes puffed vp 1 Cor. 5. 2. and at last fals a blazing his brothers imperfections 3. Iohn 10. These come right to the deuils qualitie they take vpon them the abetting of the deuils quarrell It is the Deuils occupation to defame vs first with God as he did Iob as if he had beene an hypocrite and had serued God onely for gaine Iob 1. 9. and so stands he continually accusing vs Apoc. 12. 10. and he also defameth God with vs as if hee were a God that did enuy our good Gen. 3. 1. and so he here defameth God to Christ as if he were carelesse in prouiding for him in suffering him to be hungry And from these two defamations proceeds all euill whatsoeuer aswell that which the Diuines call Malum poenae as Iob 1. 12. accusing Iob that he would curse God if he handled him roughly and so got power ouer his goods as that which they call Malum culpae For his defaming God with vs was the cause of all sinne and euery where still we see he laboureth to perswade vs that God is an vnkinde God that so we may burst forth into those termes This good did I get at Gods hand 2 King 6. 33. to wit hunger To this doth he tempt Christ verse 3. And as to desperation so sometimes to the contrary presumption as verse 6. Cast thy selfe downe c. by bringing vs to haue a base conceit of God defaming him as if he were a God of clouts not to be reckoned of as if he were a man to wait vpon vs and to take vs vp as oft as we list to throw our selues downe that we may say in our hearts as they that were frozen in their dregs did Sophon 1. 2. He neither doth good nor hurt it is all one to serue him and not to serue him He tels vs as verse 9. that he will giue vs all this if we will fall downe and worship him as though he were very liberall in rewards and as though God were vnkinde or vngratefull not once regarding vs for all our seruice but sufferâ— vs euen to sterue Which brought men to that passe as to say Mal. 3. 14. that It is but in vaine to serue God what gaine is in his seruice If he cannot preuaile this way against vs then he will try another way for when seeing that this temptation succeeded not the deuill left Christ he departed not for altogether but went to come againe as appeareth in Luke 4. 13. he departed for a time Christ was too cunning for him in disputing he meant therefore to take another course for as Iames noteth Chap. 1. verse 14. there be two sorts of temptations one by inticement as a Serpent another by violence as a Lyon if he cannot preuaile as a Serpent he will play the Lyon He had also another houre at Christ in the Garden the houre of darknesse Luke 22. 53. there he brused his heele III. Thirdly we are to consider the leader He was led by the Spirit In which we are to note fiue things not making any question but that it was the good Spirit for so it appeareth in Luke 4. 1. First that the state of a man regenerate by Baptisme is not a standing still Math. 20. 6. He found others standing idle in the market place and he said to them why stand ye idle all day We must not onely haue a mortifying and reuiuing but a quickning and stirring spirit 1 Cor. 15. 45. which will moue vs and cause vs to proceed we must not lie still like lumpes of flesh laying all vpon Christs shoulders Phil. 3 16. We must walke for wards for the kingdom of God consists not in words but in power 1 Cor. 4 19. Secondly as there must be a stirring so this stirring must not bee such as when a man is left to his owne voluntarie or naturall motion we must go according as we are lead For hauing giuen our selues to God we are no longer to be at our owne disposition or direction whereas before our calling wee were Gentiles and were carried into errors 1 Cor. 12 2. wee wandred vp and downe as masterlesse or carelesse or else gaue heed to the doctrine of diuels 1 Tim. 1 4. or else led with diuers lustes 2 Tim. 3 6. But now being becom the children of God we must be led by the Spirit of God For so many as bee the sonnes of God are led thereby Rom. 8 14. We must not be ledde by the Spirit whence the Reuelation came Math. 16 22. from whence reuelations of flesh and blood do arise but by the Spirit from whence the voice came This is my beloued sonne in whom I am wel pleased It came not by the spirit that ministreth wise counsel but by that which came downe vpon them Thirdly the manner of leading is described to be such a kinde of leading as when a Ship is losed from the shore as Luke 8. 22. it is called launching forth so in the 18. of the Acts the 31. verse Paul is saide to haue failed foorth The holy Ghost driuing vs is compared to a gale of winde Iohn 3. 8. which teacheth vs that as when the winde blowâ—th we must be ready to hoist vp saile so must we make vs ready to be led by the Spirit Our Hopâ— is compared to an Anchor Heb. 6 19. which must be hâ—led vp to vs and our Faith to the Saile we are to beare as great a saile as we can We must also looke to the closenesse of the vessell which is our Conscience for if wee haue not a good conscience we may make shipwrack of faith religion and all 1 Tim. 1 19. And thus are we to proceed in our journey towards our countrey the spirituall Ierusalem as it were sea-faring men Acts 20 22. Now behold I go bound in spirit to Ierusalem to which iourny the loue of Christ must constraine vs 2 Cor. 5 14. Fourthly that he was ledde to be tempted His temptation therefore came not by chance nor as Iob speaketh chap. 5. v. 6. out of the dust or out of the earth nor from the deuill not

vs so high as the Mount the Pinacle is high enough yea the lowest steeple in all the Towne would serue the turne Or let him but carry vs to the Leads or gutters of our owne houses nay vs but stand in our window or in our doores if he will giue vs but so much as we can there see hee will tempt vs throughly we will accept it and thanke him too He shall not neede to come to vs with kingdomes one kingdome is too much what say ye to halfe a one Marke 6 23. No will the diuell say I will giue ye halfe of one If hee would come to vs but with thirtie pence Math 26 15. I am afraid many of vs would play Iudas Nay lesse than so would buy a great sort euen handfuls of barley and peeccs of bread Ezec. 13 19. and Prou. 28 21. Yea some will not sticke to buy and sell the poore for a payre of shooes as Amos speaketh Chap. 8 6. When he commeth then to tempt vs he may abate a great deale of this that he offers Christ hee may strike out Omnia and Haec too in stead thereof put in Hoc and say Holde ye shall haue this to worship me I will giue ye no more I feare me wee will make short worke and take it Hoc aliquid a matter of halfe a crowne or ten groates a paire of shooes or some such trifle will bring vs on our knees to the deuill Is there a pretie commodity to be hâ—d It makes no matter for breaking faith and promise This is that that makes the deuill so good a husband and thriftie and to go neere hand what neede he giue more when so little will serue Whereas if we will stand hucking with him wee might get a great deale more In this temptation as in the former there is both fire to consume our faith and a dart to wound our consciences The fire is the motion of discontent that God is either a poore God not able sufficiently to reward those that serue him or else an vnkinde God that will not reward the duties that are performed by those that serue him By this we come to say Who is the Almighty that we should serue him Iob 21 15. The wicked are they that prosper and encrease in riches I haue cleansed my heart in vaine for daily haue I been punished Psal. 73 12. Then this dart makes vs weary of well doing and then followes that we will serue the deuill Being discontent with Gods seruice we vndertake the seruice of his enemie he requireth nothing but a little falling downe and then if Simon shall come and require any vnlawfull thing at our hands we are ready with Iudas to meete with him and say What will ye give me and I will do it Math. 26 15. though it be to the betraying of Christ. The Deuill here opens his meaning in this Temptation plainly that he would haue him fall downe and worship him with a bare and bold face before hee came disguised and spake in Parables His meaning is not when he saith Dabo to giue them but to barter or exchange one thing for another It is no gift but a flat bargaine men vse not to account it a gift except it be without rendring backe either money or seruice I he render here seruice backe he may well thinke I haue sold my soule for Hoc aliquid Math. 16 76. He may thinke as Esau sold his birth-right for a messe of pottage Heb. 12 16. so hath hee sold his soule his birth-right and freedome for we were all bought with a price 1 Cor. 7 23. the same great high Priest redeemed vs all with his blood No sinnes are so carefully to bee taken heede of as these that haue annexed to adoration donation hee hath Malum with a ioynter If he should haue cast himselfe downe from the Pinacle here is all he should haue had they would haue talkt of it haue wondred a while at it Well we must be thus perswaded that God is as well able and willing to reward vs for any seruice as the Deuill and better too It is hee indeede that reigneth ouer the kingdomes of men Dan. 5 21. and placeth in them wâ—om pleaseth him but when hee giueth or disposeth he giueth indeed freely exacting nothing backe againe vnlesse it be such things as hee were to haue without any such gift such things as are due of meere right with out any stipulation or hyre Iam. 1 5. The Diuels Dabo is as Offices Parsonages are giuen amongst vs that is as vsually sold as horses in Smithfield But if wee could be content to giue indeed let that heroicall minde that was in Abraham be in vs Gen. 14 23. that as hee would not take any thing of Melchisedech so we will not be a shoo-lachet the richer by the deuill If he offer to make vs wealthy let vs answere him Pecunia tua tecum pereat The end of the sixt Sermon THE SEVENTH SERMON Math. Chap. 4. verses 10 11. Then Iesus saith vnto him Get the hence behinde me Sathan for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serue Then the deuill leaueth him and behold the Angels came and ministred unto him THe answering of this Temptation if some had had the answering of it would hauc beene facto by the doing of the thing that the deuill required and not in words standing vpon termes in disputation Insomuch as they would neuer hauc cared for a cushion to kneele on but haue fallen downe straight on their very faces and haue thanked him too If Balaak should say vnto one of them I will promote thee to great honour Numb 22 17. an Angel standing in the way should not hinder them from going The manner of flesh and blood is in cases of preferment to respect nothing that may bring them out of their conceiued hope or desire thereof and therefore whatsoeuer it is that stands in their way be it neuer so holy downe it shall for hast to make the way neerest In regard of this one brother respects not another When Ioseph had had a dreame of his brethren and told it them all brotherly affection was laid aside Gen. 37 5. The sonne and subject Absolon forgetteth his duty as to his father and allegeance as to his Prince seeking his life 2 Sam. 16 11. The mother of Ahaziah Athalia when shee saw her sonne dead makes no more adoe but destroyes al the Kings seed 2 King 11 1. Iehu makes no bones nor is abashed at the sight of heapes of dead mens heads of Kings sonnes that hee had caused to bee slaine but addes more murthers to them 2 King 10 8. What 's a basket full of heads to a Kingdome And Herod stacke not to kill all the male-borne children in Bethlehom Math. 2 16. So that Gregory might well say Ambitio est vita cui etiam innocentes nocent such is the vehement desire of a kingdome So
