the_o devil_n christ_n the_o sin_n whereto_o satan_n tempt_v christ_n seem_v first_o to_o urge_v christ_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o miracle_n and_o then_o second_o in_o case_n he_o do_v not_o to_o

of_o that_o general_a word_n speak_v to_o all_o god_n child_n concern_v his_o providence_n and_o protection_n over_o they_o and_o these_o two_o be_v inward_a and_o secret_a sin_n whereto_o he_o tempt_v to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n and_o the_o care_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o indeed_o these_o two_o necessary_o go_v together_o for_o we_o can_v never_o trust_v in_o god_n providence_n for_o this_o life_n unless_o we_o believe_v that_o word_n of_o his_o spirit_n tell_v we_o we_o be_v his_o child_n for_o when_o we_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o ourselves_o his_o child_n then_o will_v we_o hang_v upon_o his_o providence_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o of_o his_o care_n now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n out_o of_o these_o two_o bittter_fw-ge
