desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o lion_n mouth_n how_o can_v this_o be_v expound_v but_o of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n wrath_n now_o urge_v &_o enforce_v by_o the_o devil_n against_o he_o in_o regard_n whereof_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v all_o these_o thing_n compare_v together_o carry_v i_o easy_o to_o think_v that_o here_o the_o affliction_n proper_a to_o christ_n soul_n be_v express_v therefore_o the_o might_n malice_n and_o mischief_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v here_o to_o be_v consider_v who_o in_o this_o place_n be_v call_v mighty_a bull_n and_o a_o rape_v &_o roar_a lion_n there_o be_v one_o devil_n the_o chief_a and_o the_o rest_n consent_v and_o conspire_v with_o he_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v angel_n and_o although_o through_o their_o fall_n they_o have_v lose_v grace_n and_o glory_n yet_o their_o other_o quality_n which_o the_o lord_n endow_v they_o with_o in_o their_o creation_n remain_v as_o namely_o their_o strength_n now_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o angel_n be_v wonderful_a great_a though_o not_o infinite_a as_o may_v appear_v in_o that_o the_o angel_n overthrewe_v in_o the_o host_n of_o the_o assyrian_n in_o one_o night_n a_o hundred_o four_o score_n and_o five_o thousand_o esay_n 37.36_o also_o in_o the_o time_n of_o david_n seaventie_o thousand_o in_o three_o day_n 2._o sam._n 24.15_o and_o in_o egypt_n evil_a angel_n destroy_v all_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o egypt_n psal_n 78.49.50.51_o and_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v in_o a_o piece_n of_o a_o night_n yea_o sure_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v permit_v the_o devil_n be_v able_a to_o destroy_v all_o the_o man_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n and_o mingle_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v as_o great_a if_o not_o great_a than_o his_o power_n which_o may_v appear_v in_o two_o particular_n first_o in_o that_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o god_n and_o christ_n whereas_o he_o know_v he_o get_v nothing_o by_o it_o but_o vengeance_n second_o in_o oppose_v against_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o his_o servant_n whereas_o he_o know_v he_o can_v hurt_v they_o nay_o rather_o he_o do_v they_o good_a he_o afflict_v job_n and_o yet_o he_o know_v job_n by_o god_n own_o commendation_n to_o be_v god_n servant_n he_o tempt_v christ_n who_o he_o know_v to_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n the_o mischief_n of_o the_o devil_n also_o be_v a_o great_a as_o it_o proceed_v from_o he_o and_o as_o it_o seize_v upon_o some_o person_n he_o bring_v christ_n to_o death_n job_n to_o beggary_n he_o work_v mischeivous_o by_o the_o witch_n to_o destroy_v the_o good_n and_o child_n of_o man_n both_o good_a and_o bad_n he_o bring_v man_n into_o sin_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o it_o and_o so_o work_v their_o destruction_n and_o damnation_n which_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o mischief_n howsoever_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_o observe_v as_o the_o devil_n be_v thus_o mighty_a malicious_a and_o mischievous_a so_o undoubted_o he_o bestir_v himself_o with_o all_o his_o skill_n to_o afflict_v christ_n and_o he_o even_o to_o the_o utmost_a he_o can_v do_v no_o doubt_n wreck_v himself_o upon_o christ_n to_o spoil_v he_o if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a &_o so_o do_v he_o and_o will_v do_v to_o all_o god_n child_n yea_o he_o carry_v a_o universal_a hatred_n to_o mankind_n &_o all_o god_n creature_n will_v work_v what_o villainy_n he_o can_v upon_o they_o he_o carry_v the_o swine_n headlong_o into_o the_o sea_n he_o cause_v the_o man_n that_o be_v possess_v to_o beat_v himself_o with_o stone_n etc._n etc._n here_o therefore_o we_o see_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o &_o towards_o mankind_n in_o general_a who_o repress_v &_o bridle_v the_o devil_n and_o chain_v he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v do_v what_o he_o listen_v for_o they_o we_o shall_v not_o keep_v our_o cattle_n from_o his_o hand_n nor_o money_n in_o our_o purse_n nor_o any_o of_o our_o good_n for_o our_o use_n nay_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v torment_v strange_o and_o worse_o than_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v lay_v the_o reins_n in_o his_o neck_n all_o man_n therefore_o good_a and_o bad_a be_v to_o consider_v god_n goodness_n towards_o they_o thus_o far_o forth_o that_o they_o be_v moderate_o preserve_v by_o he_o in_o their_o outward_a estate_n from_o the_o devil_n tyranny_n it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o far_o forth_o the_o devil_n can_v and_o now_o do_v prevail_v against_o christ_n in_o this_o place_n i_o they_o comp●●_n enclose_v and_o gape_v upon_o i_o or_o whether_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o executioner_n of_o god_n wrath_n now_o upon_o our_o saviour_n christ_n whereto_o answer_n may_v be_v make_v thus_o first_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o inflict_v of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o the_o creature_n be_v god_n work_n only_o and_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n that_o can_v pour_v god_n wrath_n upon_o another_o for_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v inflict_v upon_o the_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n whereby_o god_n justice_n be_v violate_v and_o this_o curse_n or_o this_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o justice_n it_o be_v not_o convenient_a to_o assign_v the_o execution_n thereof_o to_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v himself_o subject_a to_o and_o torment_v with_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n thereof_o and_o there_o be_v no_o superior_a power_n to_o torment_v the_o devil_n but_o god_n he_o himself_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o executioner_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o god_n wrath_n so_o at_o the_o devil_n thereby_o be_v overwhelm_v how_o shall_v it_o be_v say_v with_o reason_n that_o he_o that_o be_v very_o unable_a to_o sustain_v it_o shall_v inflict_v it_o he_o that_o can_v bear_v it_o himself_o shall_v lay_v it_o upon_o other_o and_o as_o he_o that_o be_v hang_v can_v be_v hangman_n no_o more_o can_v the_o devil_n that_o be_v torment_v with_o god_n wrath_n torment_v other_o therewithal_o therefore_o the_o lord_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n do_v immediate_o inflict_v his_o wrath_n upon_o the_o creature_n whether_o man_n or_o angel_n and_o as_o god_n have_v the_o help_n of_o no_o creature_n in_o the_o creation_n redemption_n justification_n sanctification_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o church_n no_o more_o have_v he_o any_o help_n in_o the_o damnation_n of_o any_o creature_n wherefore_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o god_n instrument_n of_o pour_v his_o wrath_n upon_o christ_n and_o yet_o christ_n suffer_v immediate_o from_o the_o devil_n as_o it_o be_v here_o record_v for_o they_o tempt_v he_o and_o terrify_v he_o they_o compass_v he_o about_o and_o enclose_v he_o with_o temptation_n they_o gape_v upon_o he_o with_o their_o mouth_n as_o ready_a to_o devour_v he_o and_o tear_v he_o in_o piece_n that_o be_v they_o urge_v and_o enforce_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n with_o all_o possible_a argument_n and_o reason_n aggravate_v it_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o skill_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o tempt_v christ_n and_o no_o doubt_n christ_n can_v not_o sustain_v the_o urge_v of_o the_o temptation_n without_o some_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n and_o vexation_n of_o heart_n as_o every_o godly_a man_n have_v experience_n when_o he_o resist_v a_o temptation_n for_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n the_o devil_n do_v not_o execute_v god_n wrath_n upon_o christ_n but_o the_o devil_n do_v tempt_v and_o terrify_v christ_n otherwise_o etc._n i_o be_o like_a water_n pour_v out_o my_o bone_n dissolve_v etc._n etc._n the_o effect_n that_o follow_v upon_o the_o torture_n which_o christ_n sustain_v prove_v the_o strangeness_n and_o extraordinarinesse_n thereof_o to_o omit_v the_o effect_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n whence_o shall_v the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o faculty_n of_o sense_n and_o motion_n proceed_v in_o so_o much_o as_o that_o the_o bone_n be_v untie_v be_v sever_v each_o from_o other_o sure_o even_o as_o baltashar_n when_o he_o see_v the_o hand_n write_v have_v his_o joint_n through_o the_o feel_n of_o some_o divine_a power_n that_o in_o justice_n smite_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n loose_v so_o as_o his_o knee_n beat_v together_o the_o animal_n faculty_n for_o a_o season_n be_v suspend_v even_o so_o be_v it_o in_o christ_n again_o whence_o come_v the_o melt_a of_o the_o heart_n like_o wax_n the_o dry_n up_o of_o the_o strength_n like_o a_o potsherd_v but_o from_o the_o intolerable_a heat_n of_o god_n fiery_a wrath_n which_o now_o pierce_v our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o consume_v he_o as_o the_o fire_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n consume_v the_o
