that_o christ_n be_v always_o fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o infant_n he_o have_v a_o full_a measure_n of_o gift_n fit_a for_o his_o infancy_n and_o still_o as_o his_o growth_n in_o year_n

because_o it_o be_v far_o great_a than_o before_o he_o need_v therefore_o be_v he_o now_o say_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o though_o christ_n be_v always_o full_a of_o grace_n yet_o he_o increase_v therein_o as_o his_o estate_n and_o calling_n do_v require_v the_o use_n this_o serve_v to_o confute_v the_o papist_n who_o teach_v that_o christ_n have_v all_o

of_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o every_o one_o who_o god_n employ_v about_o any_o special_a work_n be_v furnish_v and_o fit_v thereto_o of_o god_n with_o special_a gift_n whereby_o in_o every_o age_n we_o may_v see_v who_o god_n place_v in_o any_o call_n for_o they_o be_v well_o qualify_v for_o the_o duty_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o those_o that_o want_v gift_n meet_v for_o their_o calling_n do_v thrust_v in_o themselves_o thereto_o and_o be_v not_o place_v therein_o of_o god_n iv._o circumstance_n whither_o be_v christ_n lead_v to_o be_v tempt_v namely_o into_o the_o wilderness_n that_o be_v the_o place_n choose_v of_o god_n for_o this_o combat_n there_o be_v diverse_a opinion_n touch_v this_o place_n some_o think_v it_o be_v a_o little_a wilderness_n between_o jerusalem_n and_o

forty_o year_n but_o see_v the_o holyghost_n do_v not_o define_v what_o wilderness_n this_o be_v we_o be_v not_o curious_o to_o inquire_v after_o it_o combat_n but_o only_o know_v it_o be_v a_o desert_n and_o solitary_a place_n let_v we_o rather_o search_v into_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o he_o choose_v a_o desert_n place_n for_o this_o combat_n and_o they_o be_v diverse_a first_o because_o he_o be_v to_o work_v our_o redemption_n in_o great_a humility_n even_o in_o the_o base_a and_o low_a estate_n of_o a_o servant_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o that_o nature_n which_o have_v sin_v therefore_o he_o will_v not_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n there_o to_o show_v his_o glory_n and_o godhead_n as_o a_o little_a before_o he_o be_v proclaim_v in_o his_o baptism_n but_o he_o get_v himself_o to_o a_o desert_n place_n void_a of_o all_o pomp_n and_o glory_n where_o he_o mean_v to_o begin_v this_o great_a work_n for_o we_o by_o encounter_v with_o our_o chief_a adversary_n second_o he_o choose_v this_o place_n for_o the_o more_o easy_a encounter_v with_o our_o adversary_n satan_n who_o he_o be_v to_o overcome_v for_o we_o for_o if_o christ_n after_o his_o

the_o spirit_n be_v a_o peculiar_a motion_n not_o force_v or_o constrain_v but_o voluntary_a and_o yet_o very_o strong_a and_o effectual_a again_o by_o the_o spirit_n here_o be_v not_o mean_v the_o

christ_n be_v baptize_v in_o jordan_n by_o john_n he_o willing_o take_v his_o journey_n into_o the_o wilderness_n be_v move_v thereunto_o by_o a_o special_a and_o strong_a instinct_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n wherewith_o he_o be_v fill_v above_o measure_n if_o any_o ask_v how_o christ_n can_v be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n see_v he_o send_v the_o spirit_n answ._n these_o two_o may_v well_o stand_v together_o for_o christ_n must_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o as_o man_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n second_o as_o god_n even_o the_o son_n of_o god_n yea_o god_n himself_o now_o as_o christ_n be_v man_n he_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n providence_n and_o so_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o providence_n but_o be_v the_o author_n thereof_o and_o be_v not_o himself_o lead_v or_o send_v but_o together_o with_o the_o father_n send_v the_o spirit_n the_o use_n manhood_n in_o this_o circumstance_n we_o may_v observe_v first_o the_o exceed_a holiness_n of_o christ_n manhood_n in_o that_o he_o move_v not_o from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o without_o the_o special_a instinct_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o which_o example_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v order_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o every_o thing_n we_o take_v in_o hand_n yea_o in_o all_o our_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n for_o this_o be_v the_o true_a note_n of_o every_o child_n of_o god_n to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n rom._n 8._o 14._o where_o the_o apostle_n use_v the_o same_o word_n that_o s._n luke_n do_v speak_v of_o this_o lead_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o be_v tempt_v we_o must_v therefore_o labour_v to_o be_v of_o david_n disposition_n to_o have_v our_o heart_n pliable_a to_o all_o god_n testimony_n when_o god_n say_v seek_v you_o my_o face_n david_n hart_n answer_v i_o seek_v thy_o face_n o_o lord_n psal._n 27._o 8._o and_o thus_o do_v we_o shall_v suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v direct_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o he_o teach_v and_o guide_v man_n by_o the_o word_n second_o chance_n from_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v lead_v unto_o temptation_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o learn_v that_o temptation_n come_v not_o by_o chance_n nor_o yet_o by_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o devil_n only_o for_o he_o can_v not_o touch_v job_n or_o ought_v he_o have_v till_o god_n 12._o give_v he_o leave_v nor_o enter_v into_o the_o hear_v of_o swine_n till_o christ_n say_v 32_o go_v but_o temptation_n come_v by_o god_n most_o just_a permission_n and_o not_o without_o his_o special_a providence_n &_o appointment_n this_o combat_n of_o christ_n with_o satan_n be_v decree_v of_o god_n by_o his_o special_a appointment_n in_o his_o eternal_a counsel_n and_o therefore_o be_v christ_n lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n to_o encounter_v with_o the_o devil_n that_o he_o may_v perform_v this_o one_o work_n of_o a_o mediator_n namely_o in_o temptation_n overcome_v he_o who_o by_o temptation_n overcome_v all_o mankind_n and_o as_o god_n appoint_v this_o combat_n of_o our_o saviour_n so_o have_v he_o also_o ordain_v the_o temptation_n of_o every_o christian_a and_o the_o circumstance_n thereof_o the_o theatre_n or_o place_n of_o this_o combat_n be_v this_o present_a

36._o 1._o he_o will_v give_v a_o issue_n with_o the_o temptation_n 1._o cor._n 10._o 13._o from_o whence_o we_o learn_v sundry_a good_a instruction_n first_o when_o we_o be_v toss_v and_o try_v by_o manifold_a temptation_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a but_o rather_o count_v it_o exceed_v great_a joy_n jam_fw-la 1._o 2._o because_o it_o be_v god_n bless_a will_n and_o ordinance_n that_o satan_n and_o every_o christian_n shall_v enter_v combat_n and_o conflict_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o they_o second_o we_o be_v hereby_o teach_v to_o labour_v with_o patience_n to_o bear_v all_o trial_n and_o affliction_n not_o use_v unlawful_a mean_n to_o wind_v ourselves_o out_o of_o they_o because_o they_o come_v by_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o the_o almighty_a three_o christ_n go_v not_o to_o be_v tempt_v till_o he_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o no_o man_n must_v witting_o put_v himself_o into_o danger_n without_o a_o call_n from_o god_n leave_v therein_o he_o tempt_v god_n indeed_o a_o man_n may_v be_v move_v extraordinary_o to_o offer_v himself_o into_o place_n of_o danger_n thus_o 22._o paul_n go_v bind_v in_o the_o spirit_n to_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v he_o willing_o follow_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o inward_o enforce_v he_o to_o go_v thither_o and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o many_o holy_a martyr_n who_o though_o they_o may_v have_v escape_v by_o flight_n yet_o do_v willing_o offer_v themselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o persecutor_n and_o endure_v the_o violence_n of_o their_o torment_n which_o we_o must_v think_v they_o do_v by_o a_o special_a motion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n otherwise_o for_o a_o man_n to_o offer_v himself_o into_o danger_n without_o all_o warrant_n from_o god_n be_v to_o swerve_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o place_n four_o christ_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o seek_v to_o shroud_v himself_o from_o this_o combat_n so_o likewise_o if_o a_o man_n follow_v his_o calling_n according_a to_o god_n will_v and_o thereupon_o fall_v into_o trouble_n and_o temptation_n he_o may_v not_o seek_v to_o escape_v they_o by_o neglect_v his_o duty_n but_o with_o courage_n and_o patience_n must_v inure_v himself_o to_o bear_v they_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n by_o welldoing_a for_o his_o deliverance_n here_o it_o may_v well_o be_v ask_v whether_o a_o man_n can_v lawful_o and_o with_o good_a conscience_n abide_v in_o those_o place_n which_o be_v certain_o know_v spirit_n to_o be_v haunt_v with_o evil_a spirit_n answ._n some_o indeed_o be_v so_o venturous_a &_o bold_a that_o they_o fear_v nothing_o yet_o the_o truth_n be_v no_o man_n ought_v on_o his_o own_o head_n abide_v or_o lodge_v in_o such_o place_n unless_o it_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o call_n or_o else_o have_v a_o true_a extraordinary_a motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n so_o to_o do_v we_o be_v therefore_o rather_o to_o avoid_v they_o than_o witting_o and_o willing_o thrust_v ourselves_o into_o the_o danger_n of_o such_o place_n for_o if_o god_n have_v give_v liberty_n unto_o satan_n to_o possess_v such_o place_n as_o have_v be_v consecrate_v to_o idolatry_n or_o defile_v by_o oppression_n and_o blood_n or_o such_o like_a abomination_n why_o shall_v we_o without_o warrant_n from_o god_n put_v ourselves_o into_o his_o
