over_o all_o we_o have_v as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o job_n to_o afflict_v we_o in_o our_o relation_n our_o body_n our_o estate_n good_a name_n or_o whatever_o give_v we_o the_o sharp_a and_o

his_o baptism_n be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 4._o luke_n 1._o 1._o as_o soon_o as_o our_o saviour_n be_v baptize_v he_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n for_o then_o in_o my_o text_n relate_v to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o baptism_n and_o st._n luke_n tell_v we_o this_o be_v do_v in_o his_o return_n from_o jordan_n where_o he_o be_v baptize_v by_o john_n by_o this_o religious_a rite_n our_o saviour_n have_v devote_v himself_o to_o the_o immediate_a service_n of_o god_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n and_o be_v inaugurate_v into_o his_o prophetic_a office_n by_o that_o testimony_n which_o be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v and_o this_o be_v the_o critical_a time_n both_o for_o the_o devil_n to_o tempt_v and_o for_o our_o saviour_n to_o baffle_v all_o his_o temptation_n and_o to_o triumph_v over_o he_o can_v the_o devil_n have_v conquer_v our_o saviour_n in_o this_o first_o assault_n there_o have_v be_v a_o end_n of_o this_o glorion_n design_v of_o man_n salvation_n when_o he_o have_v enslave_v and_o captivate_v the_o saviour_n himself_o and_o therefore_o he_o begin_v as_o early_o with_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o he_o do_v with_o the_o first_o though_o not_o with_o the_o like_a success_n have_v our_o first_o parent_n resist_v the_o first_o temptation_n we_o have_v be_v happy_a for_o ever_o but_o they_o yield_v and_o bring_v death_n upon_o themselves_o and_o their_o posterity_n but_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o god_n have_v promise_v shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n who_o be_v make_v manifest_a to_o destroy_v the_o work_n the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n by_o god_n order_n and_o appointment_n first_o encounter_v he_o in_o his_o own_o person_n resist_v his_o most_o furious_a assault_n make_v he_o retreat_v with_o shame_n and_o despair_n as_o foresee_v his_o own_o destiny_n and_o the_o final_a destruction_n of_o his_o kingdom_n as_o the_o old_a serpent_n seduce_v our_o first_o parent_n in_o paradise_n and_o bring_v sin_n and_o misery_n and_o death_n into_o the_o world_n so_o it_o be_v very_o fit_v that_o the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n shall_v give_v the_o first_o proof_n of_o his_o divine_a power_n in_o conquer_a the_o tempter_n this_o give_v we_o great_a encouragement_n to_o fight_v under_o christ_n banner_n against_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n have_v already_o conquer_v and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o want_v to_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o christ_n who_o strengthen_v we_o he_o know_v what_o the_o power_n of_o temptation_n be_v and_o what_o measure_v of_o grace_n be_v necessary_a to_o resist_v they_o and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o forsake_v he_o he_o will_v not_o forsake_v we_o he_o have_v conquer_v himself_o and_o know_v how_o to_o conquer_v and_o if_o we_o faithful_o adhere_v to_o he_o we_o shall_v conquer_v too_o nay_o in_o case_n we_o shall_v some_o time_n be_v conquer_v this_o have_v make_v he_o a_o merciful_a and_o compassionate_a high_a priest_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n tempt_v like_o as_o we_o be_v he_o know_v the_o weakness_n of_o humane_a nature_n and_o the_o power_n and_o subtlety_n of_o the_o tempter_n and_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o he_o do_v for_o st._n peter_n that_o our_o faith_n fail_v not_o that_o if_o we_o fall_v we_o may_v rise_v again_o by_o repentance_n and_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a consolation_n that_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a who_o be_v not_o only_o a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o be_v tempt_v also_o as_o we_o be_v 2_o st._n luke_n observe_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o he_o receive_v without_o measure_n at_o his_o baptism_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v like_o a_o dove_n and_o rest_v on_o he_o before_o he_o 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 for_o human_a nature_n and_o it_o be_v the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n on_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v can_v resist_v such_o powerful_a assault_n without_o divine_a assistance_n and_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n assure_v we_o that_o god_n will_v not_o expose_v we_o to_o any_o temptation_n without_o give_v we_o proportionable_a measure_n of_o grace_n to_o resist_v they_o that_o if_o we_o be_v at_o any_o time_n conquer_v it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o power_n but_o for_o want_v of_o will_n to_o conquer_v that_o be_v the_o fault_n be_v whole_o our_o own_o and_o we_o can_v blame_v god_n for_o it_o i_o doubt_v there_o be_v few_o man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o devil_n have_v he_o the_o full_a power_n of_o tempt_a can_v find_v out_o some_o temptation_n too_o big_a for_o they_o but_o the_o divine_a goodness_n be_v see_v as_o well_o in_o restrain_v the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v as_o by_o the_o strengthen_n our_o mind_n by_o the_o internal_a assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n but_o deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d from_o the_o wicked_a one_o which_o do_v not_o signify_v that_o we_o may_v never_o be_v tempt_v which_o be_v impossible_a while_o we_o live_v in_o body_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o

what_o we_o be_v able_a some_o of_o the_o ancient_n observe_v from_o this_o story_n that_o when_o we_o devote_v and_o consecrate_v ourselves_o to_o god_n we_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v tempt_v as_o our_o saviour_n be_v as_o for_o bad_a man_n who_o be_v the_o slave_n and_o vassal_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o can_v so_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o tempt_v as_o to_o govern_v they_o for_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o work_v in_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n but_o when_o man_n desert_n his_o service_n he_o be_v very_o busy_a to_o recover_v his_o slave_n again_o but_o then_o our_o comfort_n and_o security_n too_o be_v that_o when_o we_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n he_o take_v we_o into_o his_o protection_n the_o wicked_a one_o can_v touch_v we_o without_o his_o leave_n and_o he_o always_o proportion_v our_o trial_n to_o our_o strength_n three_o consider_v the_o place_n of_o our_o saviour_n temptation_n he_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n where_o there_o be_v no_o tempt_a object_n but_o yet_o there_o the_o temp_a spirit_n find_v he_o some_o man_n think_v that_o the_o sure_a way_n to_o get_v rid_v of_o temptation_n be_v to_o get_v out_o of_o the_o world_n to_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o human_a conversation_n or_o to_o make_v a_o show_n of_o do_v it_o without_o do_v it_o as_o if_o the_o devil_n can_v not_o follow_v they_o into_o a_o desert_n or_o a_o cell_n while_o we_o live_v in_o body_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n we_o may_v be_v tempt_v wherever_o we_o be_v if_o we_o mortify_v our_o sensual_a appetite_n and_o our_o love_n to_o this_o world_n we_o may_v live_v very_o innocent_o in_o the_o world_n if_o we_o do_v not_o we_o can_v never_o get_v rid_v of_o the_o world_n but_o wherever_o we_o go_v we_o carry_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n do_v these_o man_n imagine_v they_o can_v never_o be_v tempt_v to_o lust_n unless_o they_o daily_o see_v and_o converse_v with_o beautiful_a woman_n or_o that_o they_o can_v love_v the_o world_n without_o live_v in_o a_o court_n and_o enjoy_v all_o the_o ease_n and_o luxury_n of_o a_o plentiful_a fortune_n or_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o despise_v the_o world_n with_o as_o much_o haughtiness_n and_o vanity_n of_o mind_n as_o any_o man_n have_v who_o most_o admire_v it_o that_o a_o monk_n can_v be_v as_o proud_a as_o a_o emperor_n and_o glory_n as_o much_o in_o a_o sullen_a retirement_n in_o voluntary_a austerity_n in_o a_o affect_a poverty_n in_o a_o vain_a opinion_n of_o extraordinary_a sanctity_n as_o any_o man_n can_v

seduce_v we_o from_o the_o fear_n and_o worship_n and_o obedience_n of_o god_n 1._o now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o become_v man_n be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o there_o be_v no_o great_a mystery_n in_o this_o than_o that_o he_o be_v liable_a to_o hunger_n and_o cold_a and_o have_v all_o the_o innocent_a appetite_n

time_n how_o great_a a_o person_n our_o saviour_n be_v even_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v hardly_o credible_a that_o have_v he_o know_v this_o he_o will_v have_v make_v so_o vain_a and_o hopeless_a a_o attempt_n on_o he_o it_o be_v likely_a enough_o he_o think_v he_o to_o be_v some_o extraordinary_a person_n he_o know_v by_o the_o ancient_a prophecy_n that_o the_o

of_o his_o birth_n and_o hear_v that_o testimony_n god_n give_v he_o at_o his_o baptism_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n but_o he_o see_v he_o be_v a_o man_n though_o a_o extraordinary_a man_n and_o may_v not_o know_v that_o he_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o and_o have_v former_o foil_v our_o first_o parent_n in_o paradise_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n hope_v for_o the_o like_a success_n again_o now_o if_o christ_n himself_o be_v tempt_v by_o the_o devil_n none_o of_o we_o must_v hope_v to_o escape_v tempt_v we_o shall_v be_v and_o therefore_o must_v take_v care_n to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n and_o to_o fortify_v our_o mind_n against_o all_o temptation_n and_o this_o encouragement_n we_o have_v from_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n that_o to_o be_v tempt_v be_v no_o sin_n unless_o we_o yield_v to_o a_o temptation_n for_o he_o be_v tempt_v as_o we_o be_v yet_o without_o sin_n and_o we_o can_v imagine_v have_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v tempt_v that_o god_n will_v have_v permit_v the_o devil_n to_o have_v tempt_v our_o saviour_n which_o may_v ease_v the_o fear_n of_o some_o melancholy_a christian_n who_o be_v afflict_v with_o evil_a and_o tempt_a thought_n which_o their_o soul_n abhor_v for_o whatever_o the_o cause_n of_o such_o thought_n be_v whether_o a_o fright_a and_o disturb_a imagination_n or_o the_o suggestion_n of_o wicked_a spirit_n

we_o learn_v that_o god_n many_o time_n exercise_n those_o with_o the_o great_a and_o most_o difficult_a trial_n and_o temptation_n who_o be_v most_o dear_a to_o he_o he_o have_v no_o soon_o

be_v a_o state_n of_o trial_n and_o probation_n and_o temptation_n though_o they_o create_v some_o trouble_n and_o difficulty_n to_o good_a man_n yet_o do_v they_o no_o hurt_n if_o good_a man_n
