in_o wealth_n and_o power_n whence_o come_v all_o those_o superstition_n which_o have_v corrupt_v both_o the_o faith_n and_o worship_n of_o christianity_n and_o do_v more_o mischief_n to_o the_o church_n and_o religion_n than_o all_o the_o looseness_n of_o a_o secular_a life_n but_o from_o desert_n and_o the_o cell_n of_o monk_n and_o hermit_n which_o prove_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v his_o temptation_n for_o the_o wilderness_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o court_n for_o the_o most_o religious_a devotees_n and_o melancholy_a enthusiast_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n and_o those_o the_o most_o dangerous_a temptation_n too_o which_o as_o experience_n tell_v we_o open_v a_o backdoor_n for_o pride_n and_o ambition_n and_o secular_a power_n and_o a_o general_a corruption_n of_o manner_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o church_n and_o into_o the_o life_n of_o christian_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v guard_v ourselves_o against_o the_o tempter_n as_o well_o in_o our_o great_a solitude_n and_o retirement_n from_o the_o world_n as_o in_o a_o crowd_n of_o business_n we_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o the_o temptation_n of_o devotion_n and_o mortification_n of_o fast_n and_o penance_n of_o a_o sullen_a discontent_n at_o this_o world_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o temptation_n of_o a_o busy_a life_n and_o of_o a_o easy_a and_o prosperous_a fortune_n four_o i_o observe_v that_o christ_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v it_o be_v god_n appointment_n not_o his_o own_o voluntary_a choice_n and_o this_o teach_v we_o manful_o to_o resist_v temptation_n when_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o the_o unavoidable_a circumstance_n of_o our_o condition_n bring_v we_o into_o temptation_n but_o not_o presumptuous_o to_o thrust_v ourselves_o into_o they_o there_o be_v always_o danger_n in_o temptation_n especial_o when_o we_o rash_o venture_v upon_o they_o let_v not_o he_o that_o put_v on_o his_o armour_n boast_n as_o he_o that_o put_v it_o off_o be_v true_a in_o our_o spiritual_a warfare_n we_o have_v see_v great_a man_n conquer_v even_o st._n peter_n himself_o and_o therefore_o let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v and_o not_o unnecessary_o venture_v too_o near_o a_o precipice_n where_o he_o may_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o fall_v our_o saviour_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v not_o lead_v we_o into_o temptation_n as_o i_o observe_v before_o much_o less_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o lead_v ourselves_o into_o temptation_n we_o may_v easy_o presume_v too_o far_o upon_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o faith_n our_o courage_n our_o resolution_n as_o st._n peter_n do_v who_o have_v he_o be_v more_o diffident_a of_o himself_o have_v keep_v out_o of_o the_o high-priest_n hall_n and_o escape_v the_o temptation_n which_o he_o can_v not_o resist_v we_o daily_o see_v that_o man_n who_o presume_v upon_o the_o strength_n of_o their_o constitution_n and_o use_v their_o body_n ill_a destroy_v their_o health_n and_o shorten_v their_o life_n while_o man_n who_o feel_v their_o own_o weak_a and_o crazy_a temper_n live_v on_o with_o care_n to_o a_o good_a old_a age_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o mind_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o body_n presumption_n will_v destroy_v those_o who_o fear_n and_o caution_n will_v secure_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v high-minded_a but_o fear_v there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o way_n whereby_o man_n expose_v themselves_o to_o temptation_n and_o tempt_v even_o the_o tempter_n some_o of_o which_o be_v very_o obvious_a as_o to_o keep_v ill_a company_n who_o conversation_n be_v a_o daily_a temptation_n sloth_n and_o idleness_n which_o betray_v man_n to_o any_o wickedness_n which_o offer_v itself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o uneasy_a thing_n to_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v and_o that_o itself_o be_v a_o temptation_n and_o the_o devil_n never_o want_v business_n to_o employ_v such_o man_n in_o and_o i_o know_v nothing_o worse_o than_o this_o but_o when_o man_n choose_v such_o business_n as_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o idleness_n and_o vanity_n or_o can_v only_o minister_v to_o their_o own_o or_o to_o other_o man_n lusts._n but_o there_o be_v other_o way_n whereby_o man_n thrust_v themselves_o into_o temptation_n without_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v i_o may_v name_v many_o but_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o some_o few_o at_o present_a which_o be_v least_o observe_v and_o which_o prove_v snare_n to_o good_a man_n as_o for_o instance_n to_o impose_v upon_o ourselves_o constant_a task_n of_o religion_n that_o we_o will_v read_v and_o pray_v so_o much_o and_o so_o often_o every_o day_n and_o observe_v voluntary_a fast_n and_o abstain_v from_o such_o innocent_a diversion_n etc._n etc._n which_o man_n common_o resolve_v in_o some_o great_a heat_n and_o fit_n of_o devotion_n which_o they_o fancy_v will_v continue_v in_o the_o same_o fervour_n but_o never_o do_v and_o then_o these_o task_n grow_v very_o uneasy_a as_o every_o thing_n of_o religion_n do_v when_o it_o grow_v a_o task_n and_o then_o they_o degenerate_a into_o dulness_n and_o formality_n and_o then_o man_n either_o leave_v they_o off_o and_o with_o that_o be_v tempt_v to_o leave_v off_o religion_n itself_o or_o they_o be_v so_o very_o cold_a that_o they_o fancy_v themselves_o spiritual_o dead_a and_o fall_v into_o melancholy_n into_o desention_n into_o despair_n itself_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n for_o man_n by_o rash_a and_o arbitrary_a vow_n to_o tie_v themselves_o up_o from_o do_v that_o which_o otherwise_o they_o may_v very_o innocent_o do_v and_o which_o they_o will_v be_v strong_o tempt_v to_o do_v when_o they_o have_v vow_v not_o to_o do_v it_o the_o guide_n of_o soul_n know_v that_o this_o be_v no_o imaginary_a case_n but_o what_o they_o so_o often_o meet_v with_o and_o see_v such_o ill_a effect_n of_o that_o it_o be_v very_o fit_a to_o warn_v man_n of_o the_o snare_n be_v there_o no_o other_o reason_n against_o the_o monkish_a vow_n of_o celibacy_n poverty_n and_o obedience_n i_o shall_v think_v this_o sufficient_a that_o consider_v only_o as_o perpetual_a vow_n they_o be_v a_o dangerous_a state_n of_o temptation_n and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o will_v never_o advise_v any_o man_n to_o make_v a_o perpetual_a vow_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n which_o it_o be_v not_o perpetual_o his_o duty_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v thus_o to_o marry_v with_o person_n of_o a_o disagreeable_a age_n or_o a_o disagreeable_a humour_n or_o a_o contrary_a religion_n be_v to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o a_o state_n of_o temptation_n but_o such_o particular_a instance_n will_v be_v endless_a and_o therefore_o i_o forbear_v if_o god_n lead_v we_o into_o temptation_n he_o will_v give_v we_o sufficient_a strength_n to_o resist_v if_o we_o improve_v his_o grace_n if_o we_o lead_v ourselves_o into_o temptation_n and_o god_n leave_v we_o to_o the_o power_n and_o subtlety_n of_o the_o tempter_n the_o sin_n and_o the_o folly_n be_v our_o own_o 5th_o i_o observe_v by_o what_o mean_v our_o saviour_n conquer_v the_o devil_n temptation_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o authority_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v write_v man_n shall_v not_o live_v by_o bread_n

be_v such_o answer_n as_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o reply_n for_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n can_v never_o be_v answer_v and_o thus_o we_o must_v conquer_v also_o if_o ever_o we_o will_v conquer_v
