three_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o word_n be_v take_v out_o of_o deut._n 6_o 13._o where_o they_o be_v read_v thus_o thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o now_o there_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v some_o difference_n in_o the_o word_n as_o they_o be_v allege_v by_o christ_n for_o in_o that_o place_n of_o deuteronomy_n it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v again_o our_o saviour_n christ_n add_v a_o word_n which_o be_v not_o add_v by_o moses_n in_o that_o place_n namely_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n only_o this_o word_n only_o be_v not_o in_o that_o text_n of_o moses_n but_o if_o we_o understand_v two_o point_n concern_v the_o allege_v of_o scripture_n there_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o difference_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o their_o allege_v of_o scripture_n do_v not_o so_o much_o stick_v to_o the_o very_a syllable_n as_o aim_v at_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o allege_v scripture_n seek_v to_o expound_v scripture_n and_o to_o open_v it_o in_o allege_v of_o it_o and_o so_o do_v he_o may_v well_o add_v a_o word_n when_o as_o the_o word_n he_o add_v make_v much_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n and_o thus_o christ_n in_o this_o place_n change_v the_o word_n not_o mistake_v of_o it_o but_o rather_o to_o expound_v moses_n for_o whereas_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n he_o mean_v that_o religious_a fear_n whereby_o we_o fear_v god_n and_o worship_v he_o now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n he_o say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v show_v moses_n mean_v that_o fear_n whereby_o we_o do_v with_o reverence_n and_o bow_v of_o the_o body_n and_o adore_v of_o god_n worship_v he_o move_v thereunto_o by_o religious_a fear_n either_o in_o pray_v for_o some_o mercy_n we_o want_v or_o give_v thanks_n for_o some_o benefit_n receive_v again_o christ_n in_o allege_v this_o text_n of_o scripture_n he_o add_v a_o word_n yet_o so_o as_o he_o do_v it_o without_o any_o fault_n for_o though_o this_o word_n alone_o be_v not_o in_o moses_n his_o text_n express_o set_v down_o yet_o it_o be_v include_v and_o in_o sense_n it_o be_v understand_v for_o where_o he_o say_v in_o the_o thirteen_o verse_n thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n and_o add_v no_o more_o in_o the_o fourteen_o verse_n he_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o walk_v after_o any_o other_o god_n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o perceive_v he_o do_v in_o sense_n include_v it_o though_o not_o express_v it_o in_o word_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n christ_n clear_v in_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n allege_v by_o christ_n note_v two_o point_n first_o what_o this_o worship_n and_o fear_n be_v second_o to_o who_o worship_n be_v due_a first_o worship_v take_v general_o signify_v the_o give_v of_o honour_n and_o reverence_n to_o another_o now_o this_o honour_n be_v either_o civil_a or_o divine_a civil_a honour_n be_v that_o outward_a reverence_n we_o give_v to_o man_n by_o prostrate_v of_o the_o body_n or_o bow_v of_o the_o knee_n and_o the_o end_n of_o this_o civil_a worship_n be_v that_o thereby_o we_o may_v acknowledge_v another_o to_o be_v our_o superior_a &_o therefore_o it_o be_v give_v of_o subject_n to_o prince_n or_o of_o inferior_n to_o those_o that_o by_o some_o mean_n be_v their_o superior_n and_o thus_o jacob_n worship_v that_o be_v give_v civil_a worship_n to_o esau_n seven_o time_n genes_n 33._o 3._o this_o reverence_n abraham_n give_v to_o the_o hittite_n gen._n 23._o 7._o &_o lot_n to_o the_o angel_n bow_v himself_o to_o the_o ground_n gen._n 19_o 1._o where_o he_o give_v they_o only_o civil_a worship_n and_o honour_n so_o than_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o these_o example_n that_o we_o may_v lawful_o bow_v and_o bend_v the_o

take_v pain_n that_o their_o diligence_n in_o defend_v and_o uphold_v true_a religion_n and_o build_v the_o church_n of_o god_n may_v countervail_v satan_n diligence_n in_o hinder_v of_o it_o second_o it_o behoove_v all_o christian_n not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o themselves_o but_o see_v the_o devil_n labour_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o church_n special_o in_o prevail_a with_o prince_n and_o great_a man_n we_o must_v pray_v for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n church_n and_o child_n and_o every_o member_n of_o it_o by_o name_n for_o king_n &_o queen_n &c_n &c_n &_o good_a reason_n be_v there_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v so_o for_o in_o the_o good_a and_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n we_o all_o receive_v benefit_n by_o it_o and_o fare_v the_o better_a for_o it_o three_o if_o satan_n dare_v set_v upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o tempt_v he_o to_o idolatry_n and_o to_o worship_v the_o devil_n then_o much_o more_o will_v he_o be_v tempt_v we_o to_o the_o like_a sin_n and_o set_v upon_o sinful_a man_n to_o move_v he_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o make_v he_o his_o god_n but_o you_o will_v say_v objection_n there_o be_v none_o so_o mad_a to_o worship_v the_o devil_n to_o make_v he_o our_o god_n oh_o we_o defy_v he_o true_a it_o be_v answer_n man_n say_v they_o defy_v the_o devil_n and_o spit_v at_o he_o but_o alas_o if_o we_o consider_v their_o deal_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o devil_n sit_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o rule_v there_o as_o god_n do_v but_o cast_v your_o eye_n upon_o the_o three_o main_a religion_n of_o the_o world_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o turk_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o of_o the_o papist_n and_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o most_o man_n worship_v the_o devil_n and_o make_v he_o their_o god_n because_o the_o turk_n he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o jew_n worship_v god_n the_o father_n but_o not_o by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o deny_v the_o papist_n worship_n a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a christ_n forge_v by_o themselves_o and_o never_o read_v of_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o they_o make_v he_o a_o saviour_n in_o part_n &_o a_o priest_n to_o be_v creator_n or_o the_o maker_n of_o his_o creator_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o people_n do_v not_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n but_o even_o the_o devil_n himself_o let_v we_o mark_v these_o 2_o principle_n first_o that_o all_o doctrine_n set_v down_o and_o invent_v by_o man_n concern_v god_n service_n and_o worship_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n so_o say_v paul_n 1_o tim._n 4._o 1._o 3._o that_o there_o shall_v come_v false_a teacher_n which_o shall_v teach_v doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o what_o be_v these_o vers._n 3._o he_o say_v such_o as_o forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o teach_v man_n that_o some_o meat_n be_v holy_a in_o themselves_o &_o some_o unholy_a and_o not_o lawful_a to_o be_v eat_v the_o second_o principle_n be_v this_o all_o worship_n of_o god_n devise_v by_o man_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n so_o the_o gentile_n offer_v to_o idol_n paul_n say_v they_o offer_v to_o devil_n 22_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o intend_v that_o but_o rather_o by_o the_o idol_n offer_v to_o god_n so_o whatsoever_o worship_n shall_v be_v invent_v be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v indeed_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n not_o of_o god_n now_o by_o these_o two_o principle_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n perform_v by_o the_o turk_n and_o by_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v no_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o the_o worship_n of_o devil_n see_v both_o of_o they_o worship_n the_o father_n out_o of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o popery_n it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n see_v they_o worship_v god_n out_o of_o the_o true_a christ_n and_o have_v forge_v to_o themselves_o a_o false_a counterfeit_a christ._n and_o if_o paul_n may_v true_o affirm_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o worship_v not_o the_o true_a god_n but_o offer_v to_o devil_n then_o mnch_v more_o may_v it_o be_v avouch_v of_o that_o abominable_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n that_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n see_v it_o be_v more_o vile_a idolatry_n then_o that_o of_o the_o gentile_n now_o it_o will_v be_v say_v objection_n though_o the_o devil_n prevail_v thus_o with_o they_o yet_o he_o can_v prevail_v so_o with_o protestant_n neither_o can_v they_o be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o devil_n answer_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v thousand_o of_o protestant_n in_o the_o world_n who_o do_v worship_v the_o devil_n for_o all_o those_o which_o do_v only_o in_o outward_a show_n profess_v true_a religion_n but_o in_o heart_n love_v the_o world_n set_v their_o heart_n upon_o pleasure_n profit_n and_o preferment_n such_o professor_n do_v in_o truth_n make_v the_o devil_n their_o god_n and_o may_v be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o devil_n for_o to_o who_o soever_o they_o give_v their_o heart_n to_o they_o they_o do_v give_v worship_n but_o while_o they_o set_v their_o heart_n on_o these_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o love_n god_n neither_o do_v they_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o rest_n upon_o he_o as_o their_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o make_v the_o world_n their_o god_n and_o so_o worship_v the_o devil_n four_o by_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o devil_n we_o see_v those_o man_n confute_v who_o think_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v make_v a_o league_n with_o man_n as_o with_o witch_n conjurer_n etc._n etc._n for_o we_o read_v and_o know_v such_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v and_o here_o we_o have_v a_o manifest_a proof_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n offer_v a_o league_n to_o christ_n there_o be_v nothing_o want_v but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n his_o consent_n and_o if_o sinful_a man_n have_v be_v in_o christ_n stead_n questionless_a there_o have_v be_v a_o league_n and_o for_o so_o great_a gain_n he_o will_v have_v the_o devil_n his_o service_n then_o say_v jesus_n unto_o he_o 10._o avoid_v satan_n etc._n etc._n now_o follow_v the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ._n and_o first_o in_o christ_n answer_n mark_v in_o propound_v of_o it_o he_o use_v first_o a_o speech_n of_o indignation_n and_o of_o defiance_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o offer_n avoid_v satan_n as_o though_o christ_n shall_v have_v say_v i_o have_v hear_v thou_o blaspheme_v both_o i_o and_o my_o father_n &_o have_v thus_o long_o suffer_v thou_o but_o i_o will_v suffer_v thou_o no_o long_o get_v thou_o hence_o satan_n i_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o answer_v to_o thy_o temptation_n any_o more_o mark_v here_o in_o the_o answer_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o endure_v the_o devil_n temptation_n and_o reproach_n which_o concern_v his_o own_o person_n but_o when_o he_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o blaspheme_v god_n his_o father_n he_o can_v endure_v he_o no_o long_o now_o when_o he_o make_v challenge_v and_o claim_v title_n to_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n as_o though_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o they_o and_o can_v bestow_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n therein_o he_o blaspheme_v god_n his_o father_n then_o this_o teach_v we_o use_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v hear_v ungodly_a wretch_n blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o may_v not_o endure_v it_o but_o have_v indignation_n &_o great_a dislike_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o hear_v black-mouthed_a rabshekah_n blaspheme_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n by_o swear_v curse_a ban_a we_o must_v be_v touch_v with_o grief_n to_o hear_v the_o glorious_a name_n of_o our_o god_n dishonour_v and_o if_o time_n and_o place_n require_v manifest_v our_o dislike_n in_o open_a reprehension_n of_o it_o when_o ahab_n and_o jezabel_n be_v both_o wicked_a hear_v that_o naboth_n have_v blaspheme_v god_n they_o rend_v their_o clothes_n in_o token_n of_o sorrow_n so_o when_o hezechiah_n hear_v the_o
