he_o and_o therefore_o the_o guilty_a person_n want_v charity_n in_o revile_v and_o make_v outcry_n against_o the_o persecutor_n of_o justice_n as_o if_o they_o be_v bloodsucker_n and_o so_o forth_o

1.2_o 2._o cor._n 12.7.8_o prou_z 3â—_n 9_o psal_n 11â—_n 71_o &_o 94.12_o jam._n 1.2_o so_o the_o apostle_n pray_v against_o the_o prick_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o the_o wise_a man_n pray_v against_o

he_o may_v have_v be_v assault_v with_o temptation_n and_o why_o may_v not_o the_o devil_n sometime_o tempt_v the_o good_a angel_n as_o well_o as_o they_o tempt_v christ_n especial_o if_o temptation_n be_v only_o the_o propound_v of_o a_o evil_a object_n to_o the_o understanding_n with_o a_o reason_n to_o enforce_v it_o there_o be_v then_o a_o kind_n of_o repugnancy_n in_o these_o two_o practice_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n in_o scripture_n some_o pray_v against_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n other_o account_v affliction_n good_a for_o they_o and_o exhort_v to_o rejoice_v in_o temptation_n they_o must_v be_v reconcile_v by_o the_o change_n of_o the_o respect_n for_o howsoever_o in_o the_o scripture_n there_o may_v be_v a_o show_n of_o repugnancy_n yet_o indeed_o there_o be_v none_o therefore_o in_o one_o respect_n god_n child_n pray_v against_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n in_o another_o respect_n they_o account_v it_o a_o bless_a and_o joyful_a thing_n to_o be_v tempt_v and_o afflict_a temptation_n god_n purpose_n in_o temptation_n satan_n intent_n in_o temptation_n temptation_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v according_a to_o god_n purpose_n and_o according_a to_o the_o

must_v and_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n do_v pray_v against_o temptation_n according_a to_o the_o devil_n intent_n and_o work_n and_o entreat_v the_o lord_n to_o turn_v the_o devil_n effect_n

to_o his_o child_n alter_v it_o for_o the_o correct_v and_o better_n of_o they_o in_o the_o former_a consideration_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n pray_v against_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a they_o
