that_o crush_v the_o cockatrice_n egg_n before_o they_o become_v serpent-devil_n to_o sting_v the_o whole_a man_n with_o fear_n of_o eternal_a death_n so_o that_o understand_v what_o i_o say_v those_o

a_o hunger_a and_o when_o the_o tempter_n come_v to_o he_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n command_v that_o these_o stone_n be_v make_v bread_n then_o he_o answer_v man_n shall_v

their_o dependence_n on_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n i_o must_v from_o thence_o make_v way_n to_o this_o divine_a secret_n as_o if_o thou_o can_v but_o understand_v what_o thou_o read_v thou_o shall_v find_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o christ_n be_v baptize_v by_o john_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o he_o that_o do_v empower_v he_o to_o encounter_v with_o the_o devil_n in_o which_o dispute_n we_o must_v observe_v these_o two_o particular_n 1._o who_o this_o tempter_n or_o devil_n be_v 2._o the_o nature_n of_o this_o temptation_n first_o take_v notice_n that_o this_o tempter_n be_v one_o of_o the_o wise_a and_o sober_a yet_o subtle_a disputant_n among_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n and_o therefore_o appoint_v by_o they_o to_o have_v conference_n with_o christ_n as_o by_o and_o by_o you_o shall_v read_v for_o if_o you_o cast_v your_o eye_n on_o john_n the_o three_o the_o five_o six_o and_o seven_o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v there_o go_v out_o to_o he_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o judea_n and_o all_o the_o region_n round_o about_o jordan_n and_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o in_o jordan_n confefse_v their_o sin_n as_o touch_v these_o john_n use_v no_o word_n of_o reproof_n or_o dislike_n in_o the_o least_o but_o when_o he_o see_v many_o of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n come_v to_o his_o baptism_n he_o forthwith_o upbraid_v they_o with_o a_o sad_a yet_o just_a sentence_n say_v o_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v forewarn_v you_o to_o flee_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v you_o be_v the_o child_n or_o that_o wicked_a one_o that_o only_o come_v to_o dispute_v and_o to_o cavel_v therefore_o john_n cut_v they_o short_a with_o these_o word_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n meet_v for_o repentance_n and_o think_v not_o to_o say_v within_o yourselves_o we_o have_v abraham_n to_o our_o father_n then_o john_n proceed_v further_a and_o tell_v they_o i_o indeed_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n unto_o repentance_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v mighty_a than_o i_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o bare_a he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n now_o when_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n hear_v this_o they_o forthwith_o commissionated_a one_o of_o the_o wise_a and_o subtle_a devil_n among_o they_o which_o by_o experience_n they_o find_v be_v best_a verse_v in_o scripture_n to_o see_v if_o this_o mandevil_n can_v persuade_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o baptize_v they_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n now_o that_o you_o may_v no_o long_o doubt_n but_o that_o this_o tempter_n or_o devil_n be_v only_o a_o man_n as_o aforesaid_a cast_v thy_o eye_n into_o deuteronomy_n 6._o and_o the_o six_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v you_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n as_o you_o tempt_v he_o in_o massah_n so_o read_v heb._n 3._o 9_o now_o tell_v i_o friend_n who_o those_o be_v that_o tempt_v the_o lord_n be_v they_o not_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n man_n and_o woman_n so_o this_o tempter_n or_o devil_n that_o i_o be_o now_o treat_v of_o be_v only_o a_o wise_a subtle_a man_n as_o you_o have_v already_o hear_v and_o will_v in_o this_o temptation_n be_v make_v more_o apparent_a 2._o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o temptation_n begin_v at_o these_o word_n then_o be_v jesus_n lead_v up_o of_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n first_o mind_n the_o spirit_n that_o lead_v jesus_n up_o into_o the_o wilderness_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o come_v upon_o he_o at_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n a_o little_a before_o the_o tempter_n come_v as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o three_o of_o matthew_n i_o have_v find_v it_o true_a by_o experience_n that_o whosoever_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n can_v be_v free_a from_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v the_o cavil_v contentious_a dispute_n of_o unreasonable_a and_o unmerciful_a man_n

but_o second_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o this_o wilderness_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o wilderness_n yield_v fruit_n for_o the_o support_v of_o life_n where_o nothing_o but_o wild_a beast_n void_a of_o reason_n do_v inhabit_v as_o the_o seed_n of_o cain_n do_v imagine_v and_o the_o learned_a of_o that_o seed_n do_v vain_o teach_v though_o this_o wilderness_n be_v the_o same_o that_o john_n quote_v in_o mat._n 3._o 13._o saying_n the_o voice_n of_o one_o cry_v in_o the_o wilderness_n prepare_v you_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n now_o let_v any_o sober_a man_n judge_v the_o black_a darkness_n that_o be_v over_o the_o learned_a to_o think_v that_o john_n shall_v cry_v the_o message_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o a_o wilderness_n of_o wood_n and_o wild_a beast_n that_o have_v no_o understanding_n to_o receive_v it_o and_o as_o great_a a_o darkness_n it_o be_v for_o thou_o to_o think_v that_o any_o devil_n without_o man_n or_o devil-man_n can_v so_o far_o overcome_v christ_n as_o to_o lead_v he_o into_o such_o a_o wilderness_n no_o no_o therefore_o take_v notice_n that_o wilderness_n john_n preach_v in_o and_o this_o wilderness_n christ_n be_v lead_v up_o into_o be_v only_o the_o wilderness_n of_o man_n heart_n who_o heart_n be_v as_o barren_a as_o a_o natural_a wilderness_n that_o bear_v no_o fruit_n as_o unto_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n appertain_v unto_o eternal_a life_n o_o mind_n what_o you_o read_v it_o be_v the_o wilderness_n of_o man_n heart_n and_o not_o such_o a_o wilderness_n as_o moses_n lead_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n through_o for_o neither_o do_v john_n preach_v nor_o be_v in_o any_o such_o wilderness_n 3._o it_o be_v say_v christ_n fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n but_o from_o what_o he_o fast_v be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o mention_v therefore_o i_o affirm_v that_o as_o moses_n fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n in_o the_o mount_n from_o natural_a food_n so_o do_v christ_n fast_o forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n in_o the_o spiritual_a that_o be_v christ_n do_v baptize_v none_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o with_o fire_n neither_o do_v he_o do_v any_o miracle_n for_o the_o space_n of_o six_o week_n and_o the_o original_n of_o this_o be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v tempt_v of_o the_o subtle_a serpentine_a devil-man_n as_o aforesaid_a which_o make_v that_o devil-man_n say_v if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n command_v that_o these_o stone_n be_v make_v bread_n however_o thou_o that_o read_v may_v not_o apprehend_v this_o yet_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o that_o mandevil_n do_v not_o mean_v the_o hard_a stone_n that_o we_o tread_v upon_o no_o more_o than_o john_n when_o he_o say_v god_n be_v able_a of_o these_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n unto_o abraham_n oh_o what_o absurdity_n be_v it_o in_o any_o man_n to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v of_o natural_a dead_a stone_n raise_v they_o up_o spiritual_a live_a child_n no_o no_o when_o the_o devil-man_n say_v command_v that_o these_o stone_n be_v make_v bread_n which_o be_v this_o command_v this_o stony_a heart_n of_o i_o and_o the_o stony_a hard_a heart_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n that_o send_v i_o command_v they_o to_o be_v make_v heart_n of_o flesh_n by_o baptise_v of_o we_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n whereby_o i_o and_o other_o may_v so_o believe_v that_o we_o may_v become_v true_a bread_n unto_o christ_n for_o in_o john_n 4._o 32_o 34._o there_o say_v christ_n i_o have_v meat_n to_o eat_v that_o you_o know_v not_o of_o mean_v his_o dispute_n with_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n as_o touch_v this_o it_o be_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n which_o will_n be_v to_o baptize_v his_o elect_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n without_o which_o no_o man_n can_v have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o 4._o then_o the_o devil_n take_v jesus_n up_o into_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o set_v he_o on_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n observe_v that_o the_o city_n and_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v both_o in_o the_o self_n same_o place_n yet_o understand_v that_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o city_n signify_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o from_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n defile_v not_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n who_o temple_n you_o be_v yea_o you_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n as_o be_v record_v in_o the_o corinthian_n and_o hebrew_n and_o yet_o you_o

can_v no_o harm_n befall_v thou_o in_o that_o he_o have_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v concern_v thou_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o our_o king_n we_o shall_v conquer_v the_o whole_a
