christian_a shall_v walk_v wise_o then_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n more_o ospecial_o query_n but_o you_o will_v say_v where_o lie_v the_o wisdom_n of_o walk_v in_o a_o time_n of_o temptation_n suppose_v i_o be_o much_o exercise_v with_o temptation_n of_o several_a kind_n wherein_o do_v the_o wisdom_n of_o walk_v consist_v at_o such_o a_o time_n i_o shall_v answer_v the_o question_n in_o thirteen_o particular_n 1._o in_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o temptation_n there_o be_v no_o tempration_n befall_v we_o but_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n god_n will_v our_o trial_n that_o he_o may_v try_v our_o will_n whether_o they_o will_v how_o to_o his_o will_n or_o no_o a_o christian_a shall_v say_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v do_v 21.14_o act._n 21.14_o though_o he_o be_v undo_v much_o more_o he_o shall_v be_v content_v when_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v be_v try_v god_n order_v and_o dispose_v and_o time_v all_o our_o temptation_n satan_n can_v do_v what_o he_o please_v but_o what_o god_n please_v he_o have_v not_o power_n to_o touch_v job_n till_o god_n give_v he_o leave_v 1.12_o job._n 1.12_o and_o when_o he_o have_v power_n he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o wise_a god_n give_v he_o order_n in_o temptation_n it_o be_v not_o what_o satan_n will_v but_o what_o god_n will_n yet_o how_o froward_o do_v many_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n carry_v themselves_o in_o temptation_n speak_v hardly_o of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v forsake_v they_o because_o he_o suffer_v satan_n to_o buffet_v they_o now_o then_o if_o i_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o temptation_n and_o say_v although_o i_o can_v rejoice_v to_o be_v rid_v of_o this_o temptation_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a i_o shall_v choose_v my_o condition_n than_o i_o walk_v wise_o in_o temptation_n 2._o in_o disclaim_v selfconfidence_n and_o not_o trust_v to_o our_o own_o strength_n selfconfidence_n usual_o meet_v with_o some_o sad_a miscarriage_n for_o its_o recompense_n satan_n desire_v no_o great_a advantage_n against_o we_o then_o to_o find_v we_o in_o our_o own_o strength_n when_o he_o come_v to_o assault_v we_o solomon_n say_v he_o that_o trust_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n be_v a_o fool_n why_o a_o fool_n 28.26_o pro._n 28.26_o because_o he_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v deceive_v so_o foolish_a be_v

thou_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o therefore_o though_o i_o die_v though_o i_o shall_v die_v with_o thou_o 16.16_o &_o 16.16_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o deny_v thou_o and_o yet_o who_o forsake_v christ_n so_o sad_o as_o peter_n 26.35_o &_o 26.35_o he_o do_v only_o forsake_v he_o but_o forswear_v he_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o believer_n lie_v not_o in_o himself_o but_o in_o his_o saviour_n god_n can_v overcome_v satan_n without_o our_o hand_n but_o we_o can_v so_o much_o as_o defend_v ourselves_o without_o his_o arm_n he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n without_o we_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o he_o 15.29_o 18_o be_o 15.29_o he_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o direction_n for_o the_o withstand_v temptation_n he_o give_v this_o as_o his_o first_o counsel_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n 6.10_o eph._n 6.10_o and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n god_n power_n be_v great_a to_o help_v we_o than_o satan_n be_v to_o hurt_v we_o as_o without_o god_n leave_v he_o can_v tempt_v we_o so_o when_o he_o do_v tempt_v god_n will_v not_o leave_v we_o when_o satan_n do_v his_o worst_a to_o throw_v we_o down_o god_n will_v do_v his_o best_a to_o make_v we_o stand_v as_o we_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n 1.5_o 1_o pet._n 1.5_o so_o we_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n from_o temptation_n now_o then_o if_o in_o temptation_n i_o disclaim_v selfconfidence_n and_o rest_n upon_o divine_a omnipotence_n if_o i_o cease_v from_o my_o own_o strength_n and_o rely_v upon_o the_o strength_n of_o god_n then_o do_v i_o walk_v wise_o in_o temptation_n 3._o in_o distinguish_v between_o temptation_n from_o god_n and_o satan_n sometime_o god_n tempt_v and_o sometime_o satan_n god_n tempt_v for_o good_a end_n satan_n for_o evil_a end_n god_n tempt_v to_o try_v grace_n deut._n 13.3_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n prove_v you_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o

the_o design_n of_o temptation_n be_v the_o ruin_n of_o grace_n so_o god_n be_v say_v to_o tempt_v no_o man_n 1.13_o jan._n 1.13_o but_o as_o the_o design_n of_o temptation_n be_v the_o trial_n of_o

out_o the_o wheat_n but_o to_o keep_v in_o the_o rubbish_n the_o fan_n cast_v out_o the_o worst_a and_o keep_v in_o the_o best_a but_o the_o sieve_n keep_v in_o the_o worst_a and_o cast_v out_o the_o best_a so_o god_n by_o his_o temptation_n purge_v corruption_n out_o of_o we_o and_o nourish_v grace_n in_o we_o but_o satan_n by_o his_o temptation_n labour_v to_o confirm_v sin_n and_o weaken_v grace_n god_n tempt_v because_o he_o will_v have_v we_o stand_v satan_n tempt_v to_o make_v we_o fall_v god_n tempt_v to_o purge_v out_o sin_n that_o when_o satan_n tempt_v he_o may_v not_o take_v

god_n tempt_v we_o because_o he_o love_v we_o satan_n tempt_v because_o he_o hate_v we_o god_n tempt_v to_o make_v we_o like_o christ_n satan_n tempt_v to_o make_v we_o leave_v christ_n now_o then_o if_o i_o distinguish_v aright_o between_o temptation_n from_o god_n and_o temptation_n from_o satan_n between_o those_o that_o be_v only_o to_o try_v grace_n and_o those_o that_o be_v to_o destroy_v grace_n that_o i_o may_v improve_v the_o former_a and_o resist_v the_o latter_a then_o do_v i_o walk_v wise_o in_o temptation_n 4._o it_o be_v wisdom_n not_o to_o bring_v our_o own_o reason_n to_o the_o temptation_n but_o to_o bring_v the_o temptation_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n vain_a man_n think_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o own_o reason_n to_o out-argue_v the_o tempter_n this_o be_v to_o shoot_v with_o satan_n in_o his_o own_o bow_n to_o argue_v with_o he_o be_v as_o the_o proverb_n have_v it_o to_o light_v a_o candle_n to_o the_o devil_n yet_o how_o ready_a be_v we_o to_o
