his_o protection_n to_o keep_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o it_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o 7._o it_o be_v write_v again_o thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o these_o word_n be_v contain_v the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o the_o second_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n wherein_o he_o do_v oppose_v scripture_n against_o scripture_n but_o to_o expound_v that_o place_n which_o the_o devil_n allege_v and_o to_o show_v how_o vile_o satan_n abuse_v the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o allege_v another_o place_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o our_o saviour_n christ_n answer_v the_o devil_n that_o it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v make_v sundry_a promise_n in_o his_o word_n of_o protection_n to_o his_o people_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o if_o they_o refuse_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o to_o use_v such_o lawful_a mean_n as_o he_o prescribe_v in_o his_o word_n he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o perfome_v they_o for_o they_o be_v make_v upon_o that_o condition_n again_o it_o be_v write_v seeing_n our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v allege_v another_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o expound_v that_o the_o devil_n bring_v against_o he_o and_o to_o show_v 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 give_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o expound_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o nehem._n 8._o 9_o junius_n now_o if_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n can_v do_v this_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o in_o the_o new_a wherein_o many_o thing_n be_v most_o plain_o open_v and_o expound_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o the_o papist_n can_v 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 as_o he_o do_v in_o old_a time_n by_o his_o own_o lively_a voice_n from_o heaven_n but_o if_o the_o papist_n will_v yet_o deny_v the_o scripture_n to_o have_v power_n to_o judge_v and_o determine_v 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 sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o that_o be_v false_a for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v any_o such_o power_n to_o the_o church_n to_o determine_v of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n at_o her_o pleasure_n but_o only_o he_o have_v give_v to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n to_o open_v and_o expound_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o as_o a_o lawyer_n have_v not_o that_o power_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o law_n of_o his_o prince_n and_o to_o give_v what_o sense_n he_o list_v but_o only_o to_o expound_v the_o law_n and_o to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o it_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

concern_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n by_o which_o they_o understand_v unwritten_a tradition_n how_o can_v they_o be_v fit_a judge_n to_o determine_v of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n unless_o we_o will_v gi●e_v more_o authority_n to_o unwritten_a verity_n then_o to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n nay_o only_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o only_o the_o

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 expound_v the_o word_n be_v subject_a to_o error_n and_o sometime_o do_v err_v and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o pope_n be_v no_o meet_a man_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_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
