you_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v lord_n though_o i_o meet_v with_o hard_a thing_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o my_o temptation_n &_o these_o temptation_n have_v lie_v long_o upon_o i_o yet_o i_o do_v rather_o choose_v grace_n than_o peace_n rather_o to_o be_v cleanse_v than_o to_o be_v deliver_v oh_o my_o belove_a how_o well_o may_v it_o be_v with_o we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o improve_v our_o temptation_n what_o again_v day_n what_o a_o learning_n day_n may_v the_o day_n of_o temptation_n be_v yea_o what_o a_o harvest-day_n unto_o we_o when_o satan_n desire_v to_o winnow_v we_o but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o quest_n we_o be_v great_o unskile_v in_o this_o matter_n temptation_n i_o have_v and_o great_a temptation_n where_o ever_o i_o go_v in_o every_o business_n but_o oh_o how_o shall_v i_o so_o order_v thing_n and_o manage_v my_o thought_n and_o my_o heart_n as_o that_o i_o may_v be_v able_a so_o to_o walk_v under_o these_o temptation_n that_o i_o may_v have_v peace_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n belove_a the_o next_o point_n tell_v we_o answ_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o succour_a christ_n to_o all_o his_o tempt_a people_n and_o i_o intend_v god_n will_v to_o show_v you_o how_o christ_n succour_n and_o how_o we_o shall_v draw_v succour_n from_o he_o under_o temptation_n but_o for_o the_o present_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o give_v you_o some_o rule_n and_o direction_n against_o these_o suffer_a temptation_n and_o so_o i_o will_v wind_v up_o all_o first_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v yield_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o that_o you_o do_v yield_v to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o temptation_n that_o you_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o keep_v the_o enemy_n out_o of_o the_o town_n than_o to_o get_v he_o out_o when_o he_o be_v come_v into_o it_o if_o he_o get_v into_o the_o town_n and_o get_v into_o the_o marketplace_n it_o will_v be_v a_o more_o hard_a thing_n to_o get_v he_o out_o again_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o keep_v a_o stone_n on_o the_o top_n of_o a_o hill_n while_o it_o lie_v there_o but_o when_o once_o it_o begin_v to_o roll_n down_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o stay_v it_o and_o you_o can_v say_v how_o far_o it_o shall_v go_v how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o say_v when_o they_o be_v tempt_v i_o will_v yield_v but_o once_o i_o will_v yield_v but_o a_o little_a and_o i_o will_v never_o yield_v again_o this_o be_v the_o last_o time_n oh_o but_o your_o once_o yield_a and_o your_o yield_v but_o a_o little_a engage_v your_o heart_n to_o the_o whole_a work_n you_o shall_v watch_v and_o pray_v against_o temptation_n watch_n and_o pray_v that_o you_o enter_v not_o into_o temptation_n he_o do_v not_o say_v watch_z and_o pray_v that_o you_o be_v not_o tempt_v but_o watch_n and_o pray_v that_o you_o enter_v not_o into_o temptation_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o temptation_n to_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o come_v in_o when_o temptation_n enter_v you_o you_o enter_v into_o temptation_n take_v heed_n of_o that_o again_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v carry_v the_o sin_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o your_o old_a condition_n into_o a_o new_a condition_n see_v your_o call_n into_o a_o new_a condition_n before_o you_o leave_v your_o old_a condition_n never_o count_v yourself_o safe_a or_o secure_v in_o any_o condition_n but_o assoon_o as_o ever_o you_o come_v into_o any_o condition_n observe_v what_o be_v the_o snare_n and_o temptation_n of_o that_o condition_n some_o there_o be_v that_o carry_v the_o evil_a of_o their_o former_a condition_n into_o a_o after_o condition_n into_o a_o new_a condition_n and_o then_o as_o rachel_n carry_v a_o way_n her_o father_n idol_n tempt_v laban_n to_o follow_v after_o some_o again_o they_o do_v much_o mind_n their_o call_v to_o a_o condition_n nor_o do_v it_o go_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o their_o call_n whereas_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o when_o peter_n be_v call_v to_o stand_v before_o the_o prince_n and_o ruler_n he_o do_v bold_o profess_v christ_n because_o his_o call_n do_v lead_v he_o thereunto_o but_o when_o he_o be_v not_o call_v into_o the_o high-priest_n hall_n than_o he_o fall_v before_o a_o tempt_a wench_n other_o again_o there_o be_v that_o think_v their_o condition_n will_v secure_v they_o oh_o say_v one_o if_o i_o be_v but_o in_o such_o and_o such_o a_o condition_n than_o i_o shall_v be_v safe_a and_o free_a from_o satan_n temptation_n whereas_o several_a condition_n have_v several_a temptation_n and_o the_o devil_n do_v use_v sometime_o to_o tempt_v a_o man_n to_o alter_v his_o condition_n so_o that_o by_o your_o very_a avoid_v a_o temptation_n you_o fall_v into_o it_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o three_o if_o temptation_n do_v arise_v observe_v the_o temptation_n and_o know_v that_o there_o be_v some_o suitable_a disposition_n of_o your_o own_o wherein_o the_o devil_n do_v lay_v that_o temptation_n and_o labour_n to_o file_v and_o pare_v off_o that_o disposition_n belove_a the_o devil_n observe_v the_o situation_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o according_o do_v plant_v his_o ordnance_n he_o seldom_o tempt_v but_o he_o lay_v his_o temptation_n in_o our_o own_o disposition_n something_o suitable_a unto_o the_o temptation_n so_o when_o david_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o number_v the_o people_n than_o the_o devil_n stand_v up_o and_o provoke_v he_o to_o number_v the_o people_n suitable_a to_o his_o own_o disposition_n when_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n be_v a_o hungry_a than_o he_o come_v and_o tempt_v he_o to_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n when_o again_o he_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o then_o say_v the_o devil_n instrument_n if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o come_v down_o and_o show_v thyself_o he_o do_v usual_o lay_v his_o temptation_n in_o our_o own_o disposition_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v first_o observe_v the_o temptation_n then_o know_v you_o have_v a_o disposition_n subservient_fw-fr thereunto_o and_o the_o devil_n lay_v his_o temptation_n in_o that_o disposition_n and_o present_o fall_v to_o work_v and_o labour_n to_o file_v and_o pare_v off_o more_o and_o more_o that_o disposition_n in_o jesus_n christ_n four_o when_o a_o temptation_n arise_v do_v it_o always_o stand_v to_o answer_v it_o in_o the_o kind_n but_o sometime_o turn_v your_o mind_n and_o thought_n off_o it_o to_o another_o object_n it_o be_v in_o our_o deliverance_n from_o a_o temptation_n as_o in_o our_o comfort_n under_o a_o affliction_n a_o man_n have_v a_o great_a affliction_n upon_o he_o possible_o the_o death_n of_o some_o friend_n that_o be_v near_o and_o dear_a unto_o he_o and_o you_o go_v to_o comfort_v he_o and_o in_o comfort_v he_o you_o fall_v a_o speak_n of_o his_o friend_n depart_v whereas_o the_o way_n to_o comfort_v he_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o person_n depart_v but_o fall_v into_o conference_n about_o some_o other_o good_a thing_n different_a and_o by_o that_o time_n his_o heart_n be_v settle_v upon_o some_o other_o thing_n than_o you_o may_v come_v back_o again_o and_o speak_v of_o the_o friend_n depart_v without_o grieve_v of_o he_o but_o otherwise_o even_o in_o your_o comfort_n you_o fetch_v out_o tear_n and_o so_o i_o say_v in_o regard_n of_o temptation_n the_o way_n to_o avoid_v temptation_n be_v not_o always_o to_o apply_v a_o salve_n direct_o pertinent_a to_o the_o temptation_n but_o turn_v off_o your_o mind_n and_o your_o thought_n to_o some_o other_o good_a object_n and_o by_o that_o time_n your_o mind_n be_v settle_v upon_o other_o object_n you_o will_v be_v easy_o able_a to_o meet_v with_o the_o temptation_n five_o above_o all_o thing_n take_v the_o shield_n of_o faith_n who_o resist_v siedfast_a in_o the_o faith_n simon_n simon_n say_v our_o saviour_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o have_v you_o that_o he_o may_v winnow_v you_o but_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o that_o must_v do_v it_o that_o same_o woman_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o her_o daughter_n she_o meet_v with_o great_a temptation_n there_o be_v the_o temptation_n of_o her_o calamity_n her_o daughter_n possess_v there_o be_v a_o temptation_n of_o christ_n not_o answer_v but_o delay_v his_o answer_n there_o be_v a_o temptation_n of_o christ_n seem_a denial_n i_o be_o not_o send_v but_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n there_o be_v a_o temptation_n of_o her_o own_o unworthiness_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o take_v the_o child_n bread_n and_o to_o cast_v it_o to_o dog_n yet_o notwithstanding_o she_o believe_v oh_o say_v our_o saviour_n woman_n great_a be_v thy_o faith_n be_v

be_v a_o pattern_n and_o platform_n of_o his_o deal_n with_o all_o his_o people_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n now_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o christ_n love_n be_v never_o more_o let_v out_o towards_o his_o disciple_n than_o from_o this_o time_n after_o he_o have_v say_v these_o word_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o sift_v you_o as_o wheat_n after_o this_o time_n they_o be_v all_o offend_a because_o of_o christ_n and_o they_o all_o forsake_v he_o peter_n deny_v he_o some_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n or_o no_o and_o another_o will_v not_o believe_v his_o resurrection_n &_o as_o sheep_n they_o be_v all_o scatter_a and_o shatter_v great_a be_v their_o temptation_n yet_o from_o this_o time_n do_v but_o observe_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n towards_o they_o after_o this_o speech_n than_o christ_n preach_v a_o most_o excellent_a and_o sweet_a sermon_n to_o they_o in_o the_o 14_o 15_o and_o 16._o chapter_n of_o john_n then_o he_o take_v water_n and_o a_o towel_n and_o wash_v and_o wipe_v his_o disciple_n foot_n then_o he_o appoint_v the_o lord_n supper_n then_o he_o spend_v a_o whole_a chapter_n the_o 17._o of_o john_n in_o prayer_n for_o they_o make_v a_o most_o excellent_a and_o sweet_a prayer_n for_o they_o then_o he_o call_v they_o his_o friend_n you_o be_v no_o long_o my_o servant_n but_o my_o friend_n yea_o his_o child_n yea_o his_o little_a child_n never_o be_v his_o love_n more_o draw_v out_o or_o express_v towards_o they_o than_o after_o this_o time_n and_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o pattern_n and_o a_o platform_n of_o his_o deal_n with_o all_o his_o people_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o though_o christ_n do_v suffer_v his_o own_o people_n to_o be_v tempt_v yet_o his_o love_n and_o mercy_n be_v never_o more_o at_o work_n than_o when_o they_o be_v most_o assault_v by_o satan_n three_o you_o will_v say_v quest_n 3_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o do_v incline_v he_o to_o this_o indulgence_n towards_o his_o people_n that_o his_o love_n and_o mercy_n be_v then_o most_o at_o work_v when_o they_o be_v most_o assault_v by_o satan_n my_o belove_a answ_n there_o be_v the_o quintessence_n of_o all_o the_o excellency_n of_o love_a relation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n a_o father_n a_o mother_n a_o brother_n a_o friend_n he_o be_v the_o everlasting_a father_n and_o his_o soul_n be_v in_o travel_n say_v the_o prophet_n he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o all_o you_o his_o brethren_n and_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n i_o call_v you_o my_o friend_n now_o though_o parent_n be_v tender_a of_o their_o child_n at_o all_o time_n yet_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v sick_a then_o there_o be_v a_o chair_n of_o love_n stand_v by_o the_o child_n bedside_n and_o so_o though_o christ_n be_v always_o tender_a of_o his_o people_n yet_o then_o especial_o when_o their_o soul_n be_v sick_a and_o labour_n under_o temptation_n there_o be_v the_o great_a pity_n in_o christ_n that_o can_v be_v the_o most_o pitiful_a disposition_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v always_o lay_v out_o where_o he_o see_v a_o fit_a object_n for_o it_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o object_n of_o pity_n the_o object_n of_o pity_n be_v one_o who_o you_o love_v in_o misery_n if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n in_o misery_n yet_o if_o you_o do_v love_v he_o you_o do_v pity_v he_o if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n who_o you_o love_v yet_o if_o you_o do_v see_v he_o in_o misery_n you_o do_v pity_v he_o you_o love_v he_o but_o you_o do_v pity_v he_o but_o a_o person_n who_o you_o love_v in_o misery_n be_v the_o object_n of_o pity_n now_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n be_v the_o belove_a of_o christ_n and_o when_o they_o be_v in_o temptation_n that_o be_v their_o great_a misery_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o be_v most_o tempt_v then_o be_v the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o christ_n draw_v out_o unto_o they_o especial_o beside_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o great_a interest_n and_o share_v in_o every_o believer_n a_o share_n go_v in_o every_o believer_n as_o the_o member_n have_v a_o interest_n and_o a_o share_n in_o the_o head_n so_o the_o head_n have_v also_o in_o every_o member_n thou_o they_o be_v say_v christ_n and_o thou_o give_v they_o i_o christ_n have_v a_o special_a and_o great_a interest_n in_o all_o his_o people_n and_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v his_o interest_n the_o truth_n be_v when_o satan_n do_v assault_v a_o believer_n he_o do_v rather_o strike_v at_o christ_n than_o at_o a_o believer_n and_o therefore_o say_v gregory_n well_o the_o devil_n in_o tempt_a job_n do_v not_o so_o much_o strike_v at_o job_n as_o at_o god_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v that_o job_n be_v a_o upright_a man_n and_o now_o the_o devil_n will_v go_v about_o to_o make_v job_n a_o hypocrite_n so_o that_o the_o devil_n will_v fain_o have_v make_v god_n a_o liar_n and_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o strike_v at_o job_n as_o at_o god_n testimony_n of_o job_n he_o do_v strike_v at_o god_n and_o so_o now_o in_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o saint_n he_o strike_v at_o christ_n and_o they_o bear_v those_o temptation_n because_o of_o christ_n let_v a_o man_n go_v on_o in_o a_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a way_n satan_n will_v vex_v he_o with_o temptation_n but_o let_v a_o man_n once_o become_v godly_a and_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o then_o how_o many_o temptation_n will_v satan_n vex_v he_o with_o now_o say_v christ_n shall_v this_o poor_a soul_n endure_v all_o this_o for_o i_o and_o shall_v not_o i_o help_v shall_v not_o i_o assist_v shall_v not_o i_o deliver_v if_o a_o man_n break_v his_o arm_n or_o his_o leg_n before_o you_o you_o will_v pity_v he_o but_o if_o he_o break_v his_o arm_n or_o his_o leg_n in_o your_o work_n or_o service_n in_o a_o work_n that_o you_o set_v he_o about_o you_o count_v yourself_o engage_v then_o to_o help_v he_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v about_o and_o christ_n set_v they_o on_o work_n and_o when_o satan_n come_v to_o tempt_v it_o be_v to_o disturb_v they_o in_o the_o work_n that_o christ_n set_v they_o about_o now_o therefore_o say_v christ_n shall_v they_o endure_v all_o this_o because_o of_o i_o and_o because_o of_o my_o work_n and_o shall_v not_o i_o assist_v and_o defend_v they_o and_o help_v they_o sure_o i_o will_n oh_o my_o belove_a if_o you_o do_v but_o know_v what_o a_o interest_n jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o every_o believer_n you_o will_v easy_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o so_o great_a tenderness_n in_o he_o that_o his_o love_n and_o mercy_n be_v never_o more_o at_o work_n than_o when_o they_o be_v most_o assault_v by_o satan_n for_o application_n applic._n applic._n what_o abundance_n of_o comfort_n be_v here_o unto_o all_o those_o that_o be_v the_o true_a disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n you_o be_v not_o alone_o in_o your_o temptation_n christ_n be_v with_o you_o and_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n too_o intercede_v and_o
