cogitation_n of_o the_o horror_n of_o sin_n he_o may_v have_v blind_v thy_o eye_n and_o sudden_o have_v give_v thou_o up_o to_o lay_v violent_a and_o bloody_a hand_n upon_o thyself_o as_o he_o do_v to_o saul_n judas_n and_o achitophel_n he_o may_v have_v suffer_v satan_n to_o have_v sugar_a over_o his_o bait_n of_o sin_n with_o some_o sweet_a allurement_n to_o make_v thou_o the_o soon_o to_o accept_v and_o the_o better_a to_o like_v it_o but_o he_o have_v rather_o present_v it_o before_o thou_o in_o such_o a_o ghastly_a look_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v the_o more_o terrify_v and_o tremble_v to_o commit_v it_o wherefore_o thou_o must_v needs_o think_v and_o persuade_v thyself_o that_o god_n have_v a_o watchful_a care_n over_o thou_o in_o that_o he_o have_v thus_o put_v his_o hook_n into_o satan_n nostril_n have_v so_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o prevail_v against_o thou_o so_o far_o as_o he_o desire_v remember_v that_o satan_n be_v not_o call_v a_o old_a and_o subtle_a serpent_n for_o nought_o and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a and_o most_o dangerous_a temptation_n of_o all_o other_o as_o thou_o suppose_v do_v thou_o think_v that_o satan_n will_v so_o seldom_o use_v it_o it_o be_v no_o policy_n in_o the_o devil_n to_o neglect_v this_o course_n so_o much_o and_o to_o take_v a_o quite_o contrary_a if_o he_o see_v that_o this_o be_v most_o behooveful_a for_o his_o state_n and_o kingdom_n he_o know_v by_o long_a practice_n and_o daily_a experience_n that_o it_o more_o avail_v he_o especial_o with_o those_o which_o have_v some_o touch_n and_o feel_v of_o sin_n to_o present_a vice_n not_o as_o a_o vice_n but_o as_o a_o virtue_n not_o as_o hurt_v but_o as_o help_v not_o horrible_a and_o ugly_a to_o breed_v a_o terror_n but_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a to_o bring_v delight_n to_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v as_o do_v judith_n 4._o judith_n 10.3_o 4._o when_o she_o go_v to_o deceive_v holophernes_n he_o trim_v up_o and_o deck_v himself_o as_o though_o he_o come_v in_o courtesy_n to_o counsel_n not_o in_o cruelty_n to_o murder_n and_o kill_v then_o he_o will_v not_o be_v a_o devil_n but_o a_o saint_n not_o a_o fiend_n of_o hell_n and_o darkness_n but_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n he_o will_v say_v as_o sometime_o he_o teach_v his_o scholar_n judas_n all_o hail_n with_o kiss_n as_o though_o he_o mean_v least_o harm_n when_o indeed_o he_o intend_v the_o great_a hurt_n and_o mischief_n perhaps_o if_o satan_n have_v cunning_o creep_v in_o upon_o thou_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o lot_n david_n and_o many_o other_o thou_o will_v not_o so_o soon_o have_v dislike_v it_o thou_o will_v never_o have_v be_v so_o quick_o terrify_v and_o appal_a with_o it_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o this_o subtle_a tempter_n to_o have_v bring_v thou_o to_o his_o lure_n and_o to_o have_v win_v thou_o to_o follow_v the_o vanity_n of_o his_o enticement_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o thou_o which_o if_o thou_o do_v well_o consider_v thou_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v dismay_v in_o heart_n for_o the_o grievousnes_n of_o such_o a_o temptation_n neither_o yet_o to_o fear_v or_o misdoubt_v the_o favour_n of_o thy_o god_n but_o thou_o have_v rather_o cause_n to_o be_v thankful_a to_o fall_v down_o adore_v and_o wonder_v at_o the_o mighty_a power_n and_o exceed_a grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n that_o have_v not_o give_v thou_o up_o unto_o the_o will_n of_o satan_n nor_o suffer_v he_o to_o use_v and_o practice_v his_o subtle_a and_o deceitful_a train_n against_o thou_o but_o view_v and_o consider_v thy_o frailty_n and_o infirmity_n that_o be_v to_o encounter_v with_o so_o great_a so_o mighty_a and_o so_o strong_a a_o adversary_n have_v chain_v he_o up_o and_o as_o it_o be_v tie_v his_o hand_n and_o cut_v he_o short_a of_o his_o purpose_n permit_v he_o none_o other_o kind_n of_o fight_n against_o thou_o but_o such_o as_o through_o god_n work_v shall_v be_v most_o for_o thy_o advantage_n but_o thou_o stand_v upon_o example_n who_o be_v it_o say_v thou_o that_o be_v ever_o tempt_v in_o this_o manner_n to_o kill_v himself_o although_o beside_o some_o already_o show_v
