in that poynt very vnaduysedlye For it is written in the eyt of Deutronomye Man lyueth not by breade or corporall fedynge onlye But by Gods promyse and by hys scriptures heauenlye Here ye persuade me to recreate my bodye And neglected Gods worde whych is great blasphemye Thys caused Adam from innocencye to fall And all hys ofsprynge made myserable and mortall Where as is Gods worde there is both sprete and lyfe And where that is not death and dampnacyon is ryfe The strength of Gods worde myghtyly sustayned Moses For fourty dayes space therof soch is the goodnes It fortyfyed Helias it preserued Daniel And holpe in the desart the chyldren of Israel Sore plages do folowe where Gods worde is reiect For no persuasyon wyll I therfor neglect That offyce to do whych God hath me commaunded But in all mekenesse it shall be accomplyshed Satan tentator I had rather naye consyderynge your feblenesse For ye are but tuly ye are no stronge persone doughtlesse Iesus Christus Well it is not the breade that doth a man vpholde But the lorde of heauen with hys graees manyfolde He that Man create is able hym to norysh And after weakenesse cause hym agayne to florysh Gods worde is a rule for all that man shuld do And out of that rule no creature ought to go He that it foloweth can not out of the waye In meate no● in drynke in sadnesse nor in playe Satan tentator Ie are styfnecked ye wyll folowe no good counsell Iesus Christus Yes whan it is soch as the holye scripture tell Satan tentator Scriptures I knowe non for I am but an hermyte I ▪ I maye saye to yow it is no part of our stody We relygyouse men lyue all in contemplacyon Scriptures to stodye is not our occupacyon It longeth to doctours Howbeyt I maye saye to yow As blynde are they as we in the vnderstandynge now Well shall it please ye any farther with me to walke Though I lyttle profyght yet doth it me good to talke Iesus Christus To tarry or go it is all one to me Satan tentator Lete vs than wander into the holye cyte Of Hierusalem to se what is there a do Iesus Christus I shall not saye naye but am agreable therto Satan tentator My purpose is thys A voyce in your eare ded rynge That ye were Gods sone and welbeloued darlynge And yow beleue it but ye are the more vnwyse For to deceyue yow it was some subtyle practyse Well vpon that voyce ye are geuen to persyghtnesse Not els regardynge but to lyue in ghostlynesse Ye watche fast and praye ye shyne in contemplacyon Leadynge here a lyfe beyonde all estymacyon No meate wyll ye eate but lyue by Gods worde onlye ▪ So good are ye w●●t so perfyght and so holye I wyll brynge ye I trowe to the welle of ghostlynesse Where I shall fyll ye and glutt ye with holynesse What holy quoth he Naye ye were neuer so holye As I wyll make ye if ye folowe hansomlye Here is all holy here is the holy cytie The holy temple and the holy prestes here be Ye wyll be holy wel ye shall be aboue them all Bycause ye are Gods sonne it doth ye so befall Come here on the pynnacle we wyll be by and by Iesus Christus What meane ye by that shewe fourth your fantasy Satan tentator Whan ye were hungrye I ded ye first persuade Of stones to make breade but ye wolde non of that trade Ye layed for yourself that scripture wolde not serue it That was your bucklar but now I am for ye fyt For the suggestyon that I now shall to ye laye I haue scripture at hande ye shall it not denaye Iesus Christus Kepe it not secrete but lete it than be hod Satan tentator If ye do beleue that ye are the sonne of God Beleue thys also if ye leape downe here in scoff From thys hygh pynnacle ye can take no harme theroff And therfor be bolde thys enterpryse to ieoparde· If ye be Gods sonne cast downe your self here backwarde Iesus Christus Truly that nede not here is other remedye To the grounde to go than to fall downe folyshlye Here are gresynges made to go vp and downe therby What nede I than leape to the earthe presumptuously Satan tentator Saye that ye ded it vpon a good intent Iesus Christus That were neyther good nor yet conuenyent Daungers are doubtfull where soch presumpcyon is Satan tentator Tush scripture is with it ye can not fare amys For it is written how God hath geuen a charge Vnto hys Angels that if ye leape at large They shall receyue ye in their handes tenderly Least ye dalhe your fote agaynst a stone therby If ye do take scath beleue God is not trewe

purpose Leauynge out the best as ye shuld tryfle or glose Ye mynde not by thys towardes God to edyfye But of syncere faythe to corrupt the innocencye Satan tentator Whye is it not true that soch a text there is Iesus Christus Yes there is soch a text but ye wrast it all amys As the Psalme doth saye God hath commaunded Angels To preserue the iust from daungerouse plages and parels Satan tentator

scripture a ryght Their wayes are soch rules as God hath them commaunded By hys lyuynge wo●de iustlye to be obserued If they passe those rules the Angels are not bounde To be their sauegarde but rather them to confounde To fall downe backwarde of a wanton penyshnes Is non of those wayes that God euer taught doughtles Then if I ded it I shuld tempt God very sore And deserue to haue hys anger euermore I wyll not so do for their fathers in the desart Ded so tempt hym ones and had the hate of hys hart ▪ The clause that ye had maketh for nō outwarde workynge If ye marke the Psalme throughly from hys begynnynge But what is the cause ye wēt not fourth with the next verse● Satan tentator It made not for me if ye wyll ye maye it reherse Iesus Christus Thu shalt sayth the Psalme subdue the cruell serpent And treade vndre fote the lyon and dragon pestylent Satan tentator No nyghar I saye for there ye touche fre holde Iesus Christus Some loue in no wyse to haue their rudenesse tolde To walke in Gods wayes it becometh a mortall man And therfor
