ever_o doubt_v of_o i_o say_v satan_n tempt_v before_o conversion_n namely_o to_o hinder_v we_o from_o enter_v the_o way_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o keep_v we_o out_o of_o christ_n for_o if_o we_o be_v once_o in_o christ_n we_o be_v go_v from_o he_o he_o can_v hurt_v we_o no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v christ_n and_o you_o may_v see_v how_o far_o his_o malice_n can_v reach_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o

can_v but_o restrain_v your_o lust_n it_o can_v heal_v they_o a_o disease_n can_v but_o abate_v the_o act_n of_o sin_n it_o can_v never_o destroy_v the_o life_n of_o sin_n death_n itself_o can_v kill_v sin_n the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n live_v when_o they_o be_v dead_a the_o grave_n can_v consume_v they_o nor_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n waste_v their_o strength_n the_o sin_n of_o unbeliever_n shall_v remain_v not_o only_o in_o their_o guilt_n but_o in_o their_o power_n to_o all_o eternity_n quest_n but_o how_o do_v satan_n hinder_v our_o conversion_n answ_n by_o kindle_v a_o strong_a love_n in_o we_o to_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n a_o love_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n come_v and_o blow_v that_o fire_n into_o a_o flame_n and_o so_o our_o love_n become_v predominant_a and_o afterward_o it_o become_v a_o great_a work_n to_o un-love_n that_o sin_n 2._o satan_n tempt_v the_o unconvert_v these_o two_o way_n 1._o by_o inspire_v his_o false_a prophet_n and_o minister_n thus_o he_o 5._o 1_o king_n 22._o 22._o 1_o king_n 22._o 4_o 5._o devise_v ahabs_n destruction_n i_o will_v go_v forth_o and_o i_o will_v be_v a_o lie_a spirit_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o his_o prophet_n and_o again_o ahab_n king_n of_o israel_n ask_v jehosaphat_n king_n of_o judah_n who_o come_v to_o see_v he_o whether_o he_o will_v go_v with_o he_o to_o battle_n to_o ramoth_n gilead_n well_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n promise_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o tell_v he_o say_v i_o be_o as_o thou_o be_v my_o people_n as_o thy_o people_n my_o horse_n as_o thy_o horse_n afterward_o jehosaphat_n say_v nnto_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n inquire_v i_o pray_v thou_o at_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o day_n then_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n gather_v the_o prophet_n that_o be_v 6._o verse_n 6._o the_o false_a prophet_n inspire_v by_o satan_n together_o about_o four_o hundred_o man_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o shall_v i_o go_v against_o ramoth_n gilead_n to_o battle_n or_o shall_v i_o forbear_v and_o they_o say_v go_v up_o for_o the_o lord_n shall_v deliver_v it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o king_n consider_v it_o serious_o they_o that_o admininister_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n be_v the_o great_a mercy_n or_o great_a curse_n when_o they_o drop_v from_o their_o lip_n nothing_o but_o god_n mind_n they_o be_v mercy_n if_o not_o they_o be_v curse_n 2._o satan_n tempt_v the_o unconvert_v by_o number_v more_o false_a prophet_n than_o true_a for_o when_o satan_n can_v act_v for_o truth_n on_o his_o side_n he_o will_v act_v by_o number_n he_o will_v weigh_v the_o balance_n by_o number_n when_o he_o can_v by_o truth_n he_o will_v disgrace_v truth_n by_o the_o greatness_n and_o multitude_n of_o number_n against_o it_o for_o he_o know_v what_o will_v take_v among_o carnal_a and_o ignorant_a man_n they_o be_v carry_v with_o quantity_n more_o than_o quality_n what_o be_v you_o say_v satan_n that_o be_v but_o one_o or_o two_o wise_a then_o so_o many_o can_v truth_n sit_v upon_o the_o lip_n of_o so_o few_o if_o it_o be_v truth_n why_o shall_v not_o other_o know_v it_o as_o well_o as_o you_o why_o shall_v so_o many_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o thus_o he_o carry_v his_o device_n upon_o the_o wing_n of_o multitude_n against_o ahab_n to_o hatch_v his_o design_n against_o 6._o 1_o reg._n 22._o 6._o ahab_n he_o do_v sit_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o four_o hundred_o prophet_n against_o one_o micajah_n so_o there_o be_v many_o loose_a life_n against_o one_o christ_n though_o there_o be_v many_o now_o a_o day_n that_o teach_v man_n by_o their_o word_n and_o do_n that_o man_n may_v live_v loose_o yet_o christ_n say_v broad_n be_v the_o way_n to_o destruction_n and_o narrow_a be_v the_o way_n to_o life_n so_o that_o the_o fewness_n of_o those_o that_o carry_v on_o the_o way_n to_o life_n be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o 3._o satan_n tempt_v the_o unconvert_v by_o put_v man_n out_o of_o conceit_n with_o the_o godly_a that_o they_o be_v proud_a and_o hypocrite_n second_o satan_n tempt_v man_n in_o conversion_n he_o can_v play_v his_o part_n here_o also_o he_o be_v cunning_a everywhere_o to_o destroy_v if_o he_o can_v keep_v sinner_n from_o conversion_n he_o will_v hinder_v they_o in_o conversion_n now_o satan_n temps_fw-fr man_n in_o conversion_n 1._o by_o put_v hard_a thought_n of_o god_n himself_o into_o they_o and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o they_o have_v hard_a thought_n of_o godly_a man_n when_o such_o a_o soul_n be_v come_v unto_o god_n he_o be_v by_o satan_n waylay_v with_o this_o namely_o that_o god_n will_v never_o pardon_v he_o he_o will_v repent_v but_o dare_v not_o he_o take_v god_n for_o his_o enemy_n satan_n will_v fain_o make_v a_o poor_a soul_n that_o be_v come_v unto_o god_n think_v that_o god_n be_v his_o enemy_n and_o will_v not_o save_v he_o it_o be_v one_o of_o his_o masterpiece_n to_o bring_v the_o love_n and_o goodwill_n of_o god_n into_o suspicion_n oh_o say_v he_o why_o shall_v i_o repent_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v accept_v and_o this_o be_v no_o small_a weapon_n and_o thus_o satan_n deal_v with_o grow_v saint_n and_o strong_a christian_n and_o therefore_o sure_o the_o temptation_n be_v a_o strong_a engine_n it_o have_v more_o than_o ordinary_a strength_n in_o it_o he_o practise_v thus_o against_o 16._o job_n 1._o 16._o job_n the_o fire_n of_o god_n say_v the_o messenger_n be_v fall_v from_o heaven_n and_o have_v burn_v up_o the_o sheep_n mark_v you_o why_o do_v satan_n consume_v job_n sheep_n with_o fire_n he_o stir_v up_o the_o sabean_o 15._o verse_n 14_o 15._o to_o take_v away_o his_o ox_n and_o ass_n and_o why_o not_o the_o sheep_n why_o to_o provoke_v job_n if_o he_o can_v to_o be_v passionate_a against_o god_n and_o for_o that_o be_v his_o great_a design_n to_o curse_v and_o blaspheme_v god_n to_o beget_v a_o opinion_n in_o job_n that_o god_n be_v now_o his_o enemy_n as_o well_o as_o man_n the_o fire_n of_o god_n be_v fall_v upon_o the_o sheep_n thou_o can_v not_o put_v this_o off_o as_o thou_o may_v do_v the_o other_o and_o say_v this_o be_v but_o the_o malice_n or_o covetousness_n
