of_o this_o chapter_n who_o have_v see_v so_o many_o before_o for_o methinks_v it_o seem_v a_o very_a impertinent_a request_n mast_n some_o interpreter_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o these_o scribe_n

that_o other_o tempt_v he_o seek_v a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n but_o upon_o examination_n that_o opinion_n will_v not_o hold_v the_o better_a answer_n be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o desire_v a_o bare_a

but_o in_o heaven_n they_o think_v the_o devil_n have_v no_o power_n schol._n i_o like_v your_o reason_n well_o but_o i_o pray_v what_o do_v christ_n mean_a by_o that_o answer_n which_o he_o give_v to_o their_o request_n in_o the_o 39_o 40_o 41_o and_o 42_o verse_n for_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o perfect_o mast_n the_o meaning_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v this_o you_o will_v have_v a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n and_o then_o you_o will_v believe_v i_o god_n that_o will_v omit_v no_o occasion_n to_o leave_v you_o unexcusable_a have_v give_v you_o sign_n enough_o here_o upon_o earth_n but_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o satisfy_v your_o humour_n and_o give_v they_o where_o and_o when_o you_o will_v have_v they_o he_o know_v these_o which_o you_o have_v see_v be_v sufficient_a to_o
