the_o highpriest_n come_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holy_a to_o sprinkle_v the_o mercy-seat_n with_o blood_n and_o cause_v a_o cloud_n to_o arise_v upon_o the_o mercy-seat_n with_o his_o

in_o your_o affliction_n you_o will_v take_v heed_n of_o those_o sin_n that_o you_o be_v most_o apt_a unto_o in_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n so_o do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o temptation_n

this_o great_a question_n the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v of_o concernment_n every_o day_n among_o you_o you_o know_v there_o the_o three_o act_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n

the_o saint_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v strike_v at_o their_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v their_o faith_n fail_v but_o then_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v off_o this_o blow_n quest_n thus_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

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 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

be_v fulfil_v and_o after_o that_o he_o must_v be_v loose_v a_o little_a season_n mark_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o only_o the_o tempter_n in_o a_o chain_n that_o he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o he_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o go_v but_o his_o hand_n also_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o christ_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o temptation_n a_o

do_v also_o sanctify_v our_o temptation_n and_o do_v make_v they_o bless_a mean_n of_o our_o sanctification_n and_o therefore_o say_v paul_n i_o receive_v the_o messenger_n satan_n for_o to_o buffet_v i_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v exalt_v twice_o he_o have_v that_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v exalt_v out_o of_o measure_n but_o for_o this_o i_o need_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o instance_n of_o peter_n before_o peter_n be_v tempt_v what_o abundance_n of_o carnal_a confidence_n be_v there_o in_o peter_n lord_n say_v he_o though_o all_o man_n for_o sake_n thou_o yet_o will_v not_o i._o

our_o temptation_n for_o we_o and_o mortify_v they_o before_o they_o come_v at_o we_o and_o do_v cause_n satan_n to_o lay_v they_o as_o we_o may_v most_o easy_o discover_v they_o and_o if_o the_o

people_n the_o school_n of_o temptation_n be_v a_o great_a school_n luther_n say_v that_o the_o temptation_n of_o satan_n be_v the_o embrace_n of_o christ_n meaning_n that_o then_o christ_n do_v

and_o indeed_o when_o or_o where_o do_v god_n or_o christ_n reveal_v himself_o more_o full_o unto_o his_o people_n than_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o temptation_n it_o be_v say_v that_o at_o
massab_n and_o meribah_n the_o water_n of_o strife_n and_o of_o temptation_n there_o the_o lord_n give_v israel_n his_o statute_n how_o many_o experience_n do_v god_n people_n get_v in_o and_o by_o

when_o i_o say_v my_o foot_n slip_v then_o thy_o mercy_n o_o lord_n hold_v i_o up_o as_o new_a temptation_n do_v come_v in_o so_o new_a strength_n come_v in_o yea_o and_o supply_n of_o grease_n in_o proportion_n to_o our_o temptation_n my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o say_v the_o lord_n to_o paul_n my_o grace_n be_v fit_a for_o thou_o yea_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v out_o

the_o rest_n so_o god_n people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o temptation_n have_v not_o only_a strength_n give_v they_o to_o stand_v out_o against_o their_o temptation_n but_o a_o cverplus_n to_o

lesser_a than_o at_o another_o time_n though_o the_o prayer_n be_v weak_a and_o the_o faith_n low_a yet_o say_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o time_n of_o temptation_n with_o this_o my_o poor_a

yea_o four_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o come_v in_o thus_o with_o supply_n of_o grace_n &_o strength_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n but_o he_o do_v give_v his_o people_n a_o ease_n and_o a_o remedy_n a_o breathe_a time_n under_o their_o temptation_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o sad_a and_o never_o so_o great_a indeed_o job_n say_v that_o god_n be_v his_o enemy_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o swallow_v his_o spittle_n he_o follow_v he_o so_o close_o but_o the_o good_a man_n be_v mistake_v much_o for_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o time_n of_o his_o

that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o that_o same_o 1_o of_o the_o corinthian_n the_o 10._o chap._n at_o the_o 13._o verse_n who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o

a_o outlet_a some_o breathe_a time_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o temptation_n five_o and_o last_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o so_o he_o do_v it_o especial_o when_o his_o people_n be_v under_o temptation_n then_o he_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o then_o especial_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v whether_o christ_n now_o in_o heaven_n do_v intercede_v vocal_o or_o real_o but_o when_o satan_n lie_v hard_a upon_o a_o poor_a tempt_v soul_n and_o fetch_v blood_n from_o it_o then_o do_v the_o lord_n jesus_n step_v in_o unto_o his_o

on_o earth_n and_o in_o heaven_n the_o holy_a of_o holy_a he_o do_v make_v intercession_n there_o he_o do_v do_v it_o full_o but_o he_o can_v not_o for_o bear_v while_o he_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n

run_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o spread_v his_o blood_n and_o his_o satisfaction_n for_o you_o and_o there_o he_o say_v unto_o the_o father_n father_n i_o have_v pray_v that_o this_o man_n or_o woman_n faith_n may_v not_o fail_v oh_o what_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o love_n be_v here_o thus_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n and_o many_o other_o that_o i_o may_v

peter_n object_n but_o my_o faith_n do_v constant_o fail_v peter_n deny_v and_o his_o faith_n fail_v in_o the_o exercise_n as_o to_o one_o act_n but_o my_o faith_n do_v constant_o fail_v in_o time_n
