must_v needs_o be_v christ_n for_o no_o angel_n intercede_v but_o christ_n alone_o what_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o intercession_n at_o the_o 13._o verse_n the_o lord_n answer_v the_o angel_n

that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v in_o heaven_n as_o my_o highpriest_n to_o intercede_v for_o i_o i_o think_v very_o i_o shall_v have_v comfort_n though_o i_o be_v in_o the_o low_a bottom_n though_o

for_o we_o that_o so_o i_o may_v bring_v the_o comfort_n near_o to_o our_o own_o bosom_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o presumption_n for_o we_o to_o bear_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o intercession_n of_o jesus_n christ_n no_o presumption_n to_o believe_v we_o know_v the_o story_n of_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n touch_v the_o hem_n of_o

if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o 7._o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n unto_o the_o hebrew_n at_o the_o 25._o verse_n we_o shall_v find_v these_o word_n wherefore_o he_o be_v able_a also_o to_o save_v

devil_n look_v upon_o he_o and_o jesus_n christ_n look_v upon_o he_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o condemn_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o accuse_v and_o the_o work_n of_o jesus_n

i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o demonstration_n of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o end_n why_o jesus_n christ_n be_v take_v into_o heaven_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holy_a that_o he_o may_v intercede_v

what_o a_o mighty_a encouragement_n be_v here_o unto_o all_o man_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v be_v bless_v by_o he_o but_o yet_o further_o as_o there_o be_v a_o encouragement_n for_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n so_o this_o argument_n do_v also_o encourage_v we_o to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o good_a way_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o all_o opposition_n that_o we_o meet_v withal_o i_o say_v it_o do_v speak_v encouragement_n to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o face_n of_o all_o opposition_n for_o when_o abraham_n have_v be_v at_o battle_n than_o come_v melchisedec_n the_o highpriest_n to_o bless_v he_o and_o when_o a_o poor_a soul_n go_v out_o to_o battle_n for_o christ_n then_o come_v our_o great_a melchisedec_n our_o highpriest_n and_o bless_v that_o soul_n the_o time_n of_o opposition_n it_o be_v the_o time_n of_o christ_n blessing_n therefore_o why_o shall_v i_o be_v dilcourage_v or_o beat_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n by_o reason_n of_o any_o opposition_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o great_a time_n of_o opposition_n be_v christ_n blessing-time_n again_o this_o argument_n do_v not_o only_o speak_v encouragement_n against_o all_o oppsition_n but_o it_o do_v also_o encourage_v we_o to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o good_a way_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v call_v unto_o it_o though_o we_o have_v but_o little_a strength_n and_o weak_a part_n though_o there_o be_v but_o little_a oil_n in_o the_o cruse_n though_o there_o be_v but_o little_a meal_n in_o the_o barrel_n if_o christ_n call_v to_o the_o work_n he_o will_v bless_v a_o man_n in_o it_o and_o when_o christ_n bless_v he_o do_v multiply_v and_o increase_v a_o man_n part_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o as_o when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o sit_v down_o and_o eat_v he_o do_v multiply_v and_o increase_v the_o bread_n in_o their_o eat_n so_o now_o do_v christ_n call_v i_o to_o any_o work_n or_o service_n well_o then_o though_o i_o be_o weak_a though_o i_o have_v not_o oil_n enough_o though_o i_o have_v not_o meal_n enough_o though_o i_o have_v not_o strength_n enough_o yet_o the_o lord_n christ_n will_v bless_v and_o when_o he_o bless_v he_o do_v increase_v and_o multiply_v and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v i_o not_o go_v on_o upon_o his_o work_n if_o he_o do_v call_v i_o thereunto_o though_o i_o have_v never_o so_o little_a strength_n and_o yet_o further_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a why_o shall_v not_o a_o man_n be_v content_v with_o his_o condition_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o mean_a belove_a in_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o not_o enough_o in_o christ_n blessing_n true_o he_o be_v too_o covetous_a who_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n will_v not_o satisfy_v well_o what_o ever_o my_o condition_n be_v yet_o i_o may_v be_v bless_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v the_o lord_n blessed_v i_o then_o will_v i_o be_v content_v with_o my_o condition_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o mean_a i_o have_v all_n as_o jacob_n oncesaid_a i_o have_v all._n yea_o in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o place_n here_o be_v that_o which_o if_o well_o study_v and_o consider_v will_v provoke_v we_o all_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o lord_n and_o continual_o to_o bless_v the_o lord_n what_o be_v the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a here_o but_o a_o continual_a blessing_n of_o god_n it_o be_v heaven_n begin_v and_o in_o heaven_n they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o bless_v and_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o i_o say_v our_o life_n here_o be_v heaven_n begin_v and_o therefore_o a_o christian_a shall_v be_v always_o blessing_n and_o praise_v the_o lord_n well_o but_o what_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v always_o blessing_n quest_n and_o praise_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o knowledge_n that_o a_o man_n be_v bless_v by_o christ_n answ_n will_v make_v a_o man_n bless_v god_n for_o christ_n and_o therefore_o consider_v how_o the_o apostle_n reason_n in_o the_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n &_o the_o 3._o vers_fw-la bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o

he_o will_v break_v forth_o into_o blessing_n and_o praise_v of_o the_o lord_n oh_o bless_a be_v the_o lord_n bless_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n &_o bless_v the_o lord_n all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v bless_v i_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n do_v you_o therefore_o desire_v to_o be_v always_o in_o this_o work_n of_o blessing_n the_o lord_n think_v much_o of_o this_o to_o conclude_v all_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o call_v upon_o you_o to_o remember_v what_o you_o have_v read_v you_o have_v read_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o our_o great_a highpriest_n to_o

by_o this_o tempt_a power_n this_o infest_v and_o molest_a power_n great_a be_v the_o power_n as_o we_o have_v read_v already_o that_o he_o have_v as_o he_o be_v a_o superior_a creature_n ausw_n

4_o why_o do_v god_n the_o father_n give_v satan_n leave_v thus_o to_o tempt_v his_o own_o child_n and_o christ_n own_o disciple_n first_n take_v it_o thus_o lood_o whatsoever_o be_v the_o end_n

now_o the_o end_n and_o issue_n of_o the_o saint_n temptation_n be_v always_o good_a unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o god_n suffer_v the_o temptation_n of_o his_o people_n because_o he_o have_v a_o design_n of_o mercy_n and_o love_n upon_o they_o in_o these_o temptation_n what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o issue_n of_o satan_n tempt_v of_o adam_n and_o eve_n they_o fall_v and_o then_o the_o

what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o issue_n of_o that_o temptation_n i_o shall_v only_o name_v the_o scripture_n the_o 1_o chron._n the_o 21._o chapter_n and_o the_o 22._o chapter_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o it_o and_o the_o 2_o chron._n the_o 3._o chapter_n and_o 1._o verse_n compare_v together_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o first_o satan_n tempt_v david_n he_o

you_o ask_v i_o wherein_o the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o christ_n be_v express_v unto_o his_o people_n under_o their_o temptation_n i_o answer_v answ_n 1_o first_o in_o the_o order_n of_o their_o temptation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o temptation_n befall_v any_o of_o his_o but_o he_o measure_v out_o the_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n as_o a_o wise_a phifitian_n do_v not_o give_v the_o same_o physic_n unto_o every_o person_n but_o consider_v every_o one_o ability_n that_o which_o he_o give_v to_o one_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o another_o he_o consider_v first_o the_o ability_n of_o his_o patient_n and_o prescribe_v according_o now_o though_o our_o saviour_n christ_n dont_fw-fr direct_a satan_n for_o to_o tempt_v yet_o he_o do_v order_v he_o in_o tempt_v and_o satan_n can_v put_v the_o least_o dram_n into_o any_o temptation_n but_o as_o it_o be_v measure_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v plain_o in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 10._o chapter_n and_o the_o 13._o verse_n but_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a etc._n etc._n that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o 139_o psal_n 139_o the_o psalmist_n david_n say_v search_v i_o o_o lord_n and_o prove_v i_o that_o be_v say_v gregory_n first_n o_o lord_n look_v upon_o my_o strength_n and_o then_o if_o i_o must_v be_v tempt_v suffer_v i_o to_o be_v tempt_v according_a to_o my_o ability_n christ_n do_v measure_n out_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o his_o people_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n second_o as_o he_o do_v measure_n out_o their_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n so_o he_o do_v also_o mortify_v their_o temptation_n and_o weaken_v they_o as_o they_o come_v through_o his_o hand_n mortify_v they_o before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o his_o disciple_n and_o people_n before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o you_o and_o upon_o this_o account_n partly_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o christ_n that_o give_v victory_n because_o our_o enemy_n be_v overcome_v before_o he_o strike_v and_o his_o blow_n be_v break_v as_o he_o strike_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n concern_v our_o saviour_n that_o he_o have_v spoil_v principality_n and_o power_n and_o make_v a_o show_n of_o they_o open_o upon_o the_o cross_n all_o your_o temptation_n the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o they_o be_v spoil_v upon_o the_o cross_n there_o be_v no_o temptation_n befall_v any_o of_o god_n people_n but_o it_o be_v mortify_v and_o weaken_v before_o it_o do_v come_v it_o they_o the_o sting_n tooth_n and_o the_o poison_n be_v take_v out_o three_o he_o do_v not_o only_o thus_o mortify_v and_o weaken_v a_o temptation_n before_o it_o do_v come_v at_o we_o but_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o he_o may_v be_v discern_v and_o so_o overcome_v satan_n tempt_v adam_n and_o eve_n but_o he_o tempt_v in_o a_o serpent_n and_o so_o adam_n may_v easy_o have_v discern_v the_o hand_n of_o satan_n in_o it_o for_o adam_n know_v all_o the_o creature_n he_o give_v they_o their_o name_n &_o he_o know_v their_o nature_n and_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o the_o serpent_n can_v not_o speak_v to_o he_o he_o may_v easy_o have_v know_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o satan_n be_v in_o the_o business_n and_o so_o now_o though_o god_n do_v suffer_v satan_n to_o tempt_v his_o people_n yet_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o the_o black_a foot_n of_o the_o tempter_n may_v be_v discover_v and_o when_o a_o temptation_n be_v discover_v it_o be_v half_o overcome_v four_o he_o do_v not_o only_o thus_o but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v the_o time_a of_o all_o our_o temptationp_n time_n be_v a_o great_a matter_n in_o the_o point_n of_o temptation_n shall_v a_o temptation_n come_v at_o such_o or_o such_o a_o time_n possible_o god_n child_n may_v be_v overwhelm_v i_o praise_v the_o lord_n say_v one_o i_o do_v resist_v such_o a_o temptation_n but_o have_v it_o fall_v out_o at_o such_o a_o time_n i_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v stand_v under_o it_o satan_n observe_v his_o tempt_a time_n he_o know_v that_o great_a advantage_n may_v be_v make_v unto_o he_o by_o his_o time_n and_o therefore_o when_o christ_n be_v a_o hungry_a he_o tempt_v he_o to_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n observe_v his_o time_n and_o as_o satan_n do_v observe_v his_o time_n to_o tempt_v so_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n do_v set_v he_o his_o time_n &_o the_o time_n of_o his_o temptation_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 20._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n the_o 1._o 2._o and_o 3._o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v to_o this_o purpose_n thus_o i_o see_v a_o angel_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n
