how_o he_o abuse_a scripture_n hence_o we_o gather_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v of_o themselves_o sufficient_a to_o interpret_v themselves_o doctr._n for_o so_o christ_n allege_v another_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o expound_v that_o which_o satan_n allege_v and_o to_o confute_v his_o abuse_n of_o it_o 8._o so_o we_o find_v that_o ezra_n do_v expound_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o

by_o any_o mean_n yield_v to_o this_o doctrine_n for_o they_o hold_v that_o that_o which_o must_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n must_v have_v judicial_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o they_o hold_v the_o scripture_n be_v but_o a_o dumb_a letter_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v by_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v of_o sufficient_a power_n to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o interpret_v themselves_o and_o to_o show_v what_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n though_o they_o be_v dumb_a and_o as_o we_o see_v that_o a_o man_n may_v aswell_o show_v his_o mind_n to_o his_o friend_n by_o letter_n and_o writing_n as_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n even_o so_o the_o lord_n god_n speak_v now_o to_o his_o people_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o

of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n then_o will_v i_o know_v who_o have_v this_o power_n give_v unto_o he_o they_o answer_v the_o church_n must_v give_v judgement_n and_o determine_v of_o the_o

by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n and_o other_o circumstance_n concern_v the_o same_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n say_v further_o they_o 〈◊〉_d determine_v of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n

the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v man_n and_o many_o of_o they_o have_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a yea_o and_o most_o of_o all_o in_o

to_o determine_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o they_o see_v he_o be_v subject_a to_o manifold_a error_n and_o many_o pope_n have_v err_v in_o the_o foundation_n of_o religion_n now_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n answer_n take_v out_o of_o deut._n 6._o 16._o thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n first_o we_o must_v search_v what_o this_o word_n to_o tempt_v signify_v second_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v tempt_v three_o the_o cause_n and_o root_n of_o this_o tempt_a of_o god_n first_o god_n to_o tempt_v god_n be_v to_o prove_v or_o to_o make_v trial_n whether_o god_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o scripture_n report_v he_o to_o be_v namely_o whether_o he_o be_v so_o just_a so_o merciful_a so_o mighty_a as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n describe_v he_o to_o be_v so_o the_o propet_n david_n expound_v it_o psal._n 95._o 9_o your_o father_n be_v tempt_v i_o and_o prove_v i_o in_o the_o desert_n where_o to_o tempt_v be_v to_o prove_v god_n justice_n and_o mercy_n whether_o he_o be_v so_o just_a and_o merciful_a as_o the_o word_n set_v he_o out_o to_o be_v and_o as_o he_o promise_v to_o be_v second_o for_o the_o manner_n it_o be_v not_o simple_o to_o tempt_v and_o to_o make_v trial_n of_o god_n but_o to_o tempt_v god_n be_v to_o make_v needless_a trial_n of_o god_n power_n etc._n etc._n when_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o try_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o it_o be_v take_v here_o in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v that_o be_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v needless_a and_o unnecessary_a experience_n and_o trial_n of_o god_n power_n and_o goodness_n three_o the_o cause_n which_o move_v man_n to_o tempt_v god_n be_v a_o distrustful_a and_o unbelieve_a heart_n even_o want_v of_o faith_n so_o the_o israelite_n tempt_v god_n psal._n 78._o ver_n 18._o 22._o they_o tempt_v god_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o require_v meat_n for_o their_o lust_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v vers_n 22._o because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o do_v not_o trust_v in_o his_o help_n because_o they_o do_v not_o rely_v upon_o his_o care_n and_o fatherly_a providence_n so_o that_o unbelief_n be_v the_o root_n of_o this_o their_o tempt_a of_o god_n so_o then_o to_o tempt_v god_n be_v to_o make_v needless_a and_o unnecessary_a trial_n and_o experience_n of_o his_o mercy_n goodness_n power_n and_o justice_n proceed_v from_o a_o distrust_v heart_n now_o god_n may_v be_v tempt_v five_o manner_n of_o way_n tempt_v first_o when_o man_n will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o appoint_v god_n the_o time_n when_o the_o place_n where_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n must_v help_v they_o and_o accomplish_v his_o promise_n to_o they_o thus_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n want_v water_n 7._o they_o say_v be_v the_o lord_n among_o it_o we_o or_o no●_n show_v that_o through_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o yet_o unless_o he_o will_v at_o that_o time_n give_v they_o water_n in_o their_o need_n they_o will_v not_o give_v credit_n to_o his_o promise_n again_o psal._n 78._o ●0_n though_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o water_n yet_o they_o say_v can_v he_o give_v bread_n also_o or_o prepare_v flesh_n for_o his_o people●_n still_o show_v that_o unless_o the_o lord_n will_v at_o their_o pleasure_n &_o now_o present_o send_v they_o
and_o the_o magistrate_n be_v especial_o bind_v to_o look_v to_o this_o see_v it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o the_o blasphemer_n shall_v be_v stone_v to_o death_n now_o this_o law_n be_v

in_o that_o respect_n as_o the_o instrument_n of_o satan_n if_o the_o father_n shall_v seek_v to_o withdraw_v his_o own_o child_n from_o the_o true_a religion_n the_o son_n must_v not_o spare_v the_o

may_v reply_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o when_o satan_n shall_v be_v more_o violent_a in_o his_o assault_n we_o must_v imitate_v our_o saviour_n christ_n &_o bid_v he_o avoid_v and_o dispute_v

there_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o difference_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o their_o allege_v of_o scripture_n do_v not_o so_o much_o stick_v to_o the_o very_a syllable_n as_o aim_v at_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o allege_v scripture_n seek_v to_o

lord_n he_o mean_v that_o religious_a fear_n whereby_o we_o fear_v god_n and_o worship_v he_o now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n he_o say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v show_v moses_n mean_v that_o fear_n whereby_o we_o do_v with_o reverence_n and_o bow_v of_o the_o body_n and_o adore_v of_o god_n worship_v he_o move_v thereunto_o by_o religious_a fear_n either_o in_o pray_v for_o some_o mercy_n we_o want_v or_o give_v thanks_n for_o some_o benefit_n receive_v again_o christ_n in_o allege_v this_o text_n of_o scripture_n he_o add_v a_o word_n yet_o so_o as_o he_o do_v it_o without_o any_o fault_n for_o though_o this_o word_n alone_o be_v not_o in_o moses_n his_o text_n express_o set_v down_o yet_o it_o be_v include_v and_o in_o sense_n it_o be_v understand_v for_o where_o he_o say_v in_o the_o
