it_o will_v vex_v he_o and_o make_v he_o speak_v evil_a of_o god_n therefore_o desire_v that_o such_o a_o cross_n may_v befall_v job_n and_o god_n say_v amen_o i_o grant_v thou_o thy_o desire_n let_v that_o befall_v he_o the_o spirit_n of_o envy_n imagine_v that_o if_o job_n house_n be_v burn_v and_o his_o child_n kill_v it_o will_v make_v he_o blaspheme_v god_n and_o therefore_o desire_v that_o

experimental_o the_o spirit_n of_o pride_n covetousness_n and_o envy_n desire_v to_o sit_v in_o god_n temple_n mankind_n and_o not_o only_o in_o the_o whole_a bulk_n of_o mankind_n but_o in_o that_o

now_o the_o devil_n reign_v not_o by_o a_o power_n absolute_a of_o his_o own_o but_o by_o a_o limit_a power_n and_o a_o limit_a time_n too_o give_v he_o from_o god_n and_o true_o all_o this_o time_n satan_n have_v make_v use_n of_o this_o power_n and_o his_o malice_n have_v appear_v very_o violent_a and_o not_o only_o the_o saint_n but_o god_n in_o the_o saint_n especial_o have_v suffer_v for_o

that_o all_o this_o power_n of_o temptation_n which_o you_o see_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o malice_n and_o hypocrisy_n it_o be_v not_o their_o own_o power_n but_o god_n power_n or_o the_o dispensation_n of_o visible_a wrath_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o that_o evil_a spirit_n for_o a_o time_n it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o absolute_o but_o it_o be_v a_o limit_a power_n and_o

therefore_o be_v not_o trouble_v you_o saint_n of_o the_o most_o high_a though_o you_o be_v hate_v reproach_v and_o persecute_v for_o if_o you_o will_v see_v satan_n head_n bruise_v you_o must_v

and_o power_n well_o god_n himself_o suffer_v most_o in_o these_o time_n for_o though_o satan_n get_v a_o power_n to_o try_v and_o tempt_v the_o saint_n and_o to_o trouble_v the_o world_n yet_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o flesh_n principal_o strike_v at_o god_n for_o pride_n fight_v against_o humility_n malice_n fight_v against_o love_n falsehood_n fight_v against_o sincerity_n ignorance_n fight_v against_o knowledge_n self-will_n in_o flesh_n fight_v against_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n the_o pure_a spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o flesh_n so_o that_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o sufferer_n but_o that_o satan_n or_o father_n of_o lie_n shoot_v at_o and_o the_o father_n suffer_v it_o thus_o to_o be_v and_o limit_n he_o a_o power_n thus_o to_o fight_v against_o he_o that_o in_o conclusion_n he_o may_v send_v forth_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o law_n and_o bruise_v satan_n head_n by_o his_o own_o weapon_n and_o judge_n and_o condemn_v he_o by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o
