and_o the_o pharisy_n also_o do_v not_o grant_v for_o to_o work_v a_o miracle_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a work_n of_o god_n alone_o second_o the_o devil_n confess_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o make_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o and_o that_o without_o all_o mean_n matter_n or_o helper_n by_o his_o almighty_a power_n three_o he_o confess_v that_o god_n can_v effect_v a_o true_a miracle_n and_o that_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o neither_o can_v any_o creature_n whatsoever_o work_n a_o miracle_n now_o when_o the_o devil_n acknowledge_v all_o this_o one_o will_v have_v think_v he_o shall_v have_v intend_v no_o harm_n in_o these_o word_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o shall_v see_v that_o in_o the_o propound_v of_o these_o point_n his_o policy_n be_v to_o overthrow_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o in_o propound_v of_o the_o truth_n do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o love_n or_o like_n to_o it_o but_o that_o he_o may_v more_o easy_o deceive_v our_o saviour_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v indeed_o that_o son_n of_o god_n or_o not_o this_o must_v admonish_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o always_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o devil_n &_o listen_v unto_o he_o though_o he_o speak_v the_o truth_n for_o such_o be_v satan_n policy_n that_o when_o he_o will_v seem_v most_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n than_o he_o mean_v to_o deceive_v we_o most_o and_o by_o speak_v the_o truth_n he_o seek_v most_o to_o overthrow_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o truth_n but_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v refuse_v their_o testimony_n though_o the_o devil_n speak_v the_o truth_n 25._o and_o as_o paul_n do_v not_o suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o maid_n 18._o though_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o true_a god_n so_o we_o must_v beware_v how_o we_o listen_v to_o satan_n even_o when_o he_o speak_v the_o truth_n for_o he_o never_o speak_v the_o truth_n because_o he_o love_v the_o truth_n but_o that_o speak_v the_o truth_n he_o may_v be_v soon_o believe_v and_o more_o easy_o deceive_v we_o and_o do_v we_o the_o great_a harm_n that_o these_o stone_n s._n luke_n

devil_n with_o christ_n doctr._n we_o may_v learn_v that_o when_o the_o devil_n have_v once_o begin_v his_o temptation_n than_o he_o will_v be_v more_o instant_a in_o urge_v of_o it_o he_o be_v very_o

will_v be_v content_a as_o here_o to_o persuade_v christ_n though_o he_o will_v not_o turn_v many_o stone_n into_o bread_n that_o he_o will_v turn_v but_o this_o one_o stone_n into_o bread_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v that_o as_o the_o devil_n be_v very_o instant_a to_o enforce_v and_o urge_v his_o temptation_n so_o we_o must_v be_v as_o instant_a to_o resist_v they_o and_o yield_v
