as_o for_o that_o which_o s._n james_n say_v 13._o that_o god_n tempt_v no_o man_n we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v 43._o tentatio_fw-la quae_fw-la probat_fw-la &_o tentatio_fw-la quae_fw-la

be_v also_o a_o temptation_n whereby_o one_o man_n tempt_v another_o to_o snare_v he_o or_o manifest_v some_o weakness_n in_o he_o so_o the_o herodian_o and_o pharisee_n tempt_v christ_n and_o this_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o wicked_a man_n of_o the_o world_n that_o not_o content_a to_o do_v evil_a themselves_o they_o delight_v also_o to_o tempt_v other_o to_o evil_n let_v such_o remember_v that_o this_o be_v to_o sin_n after_o the_o similitude_n of_o satan_n who_o not_o content_a to_o rebel_v against_o god_n himself_o tempt_v man_n also_o to_o the_o same_o rebellion_n with_o he_o and_o therefore_o may_v they_o look_v to_o be_v punish_v after_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o condemnation_n and_o last_o of_o all_o there_o be_v a_o temptation_n man_n by_o which_o satan_n tempt_v man_n plain_a contrary_n to_o that_o which_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o make_v man_n better_o nor_o to_o manifest_v any_o goodness_n that_o by_o grace_n be_v in_o he_o but_o ever_o to_o snare_v he_o for_o which_o cause_n the_o temptation_n of_o god_n be_v compare_v to_o fan_v that_o drive_v away_o the_o chaff_n and_o dust_n and_o so_o fine_n the_o corn_n but_o satan_n temptation_n be_v compare_v to_o sift_v that_o let_v away_o the_o good_a but_o keep_v still_o the_o worst_a he_o now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o question_n we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o temptation_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o do_v differ_v from_o the_o temptation_n of_o adam_n and_o all_o other_o man_n
which_o respect_v the_o spirit_n be_v never_o communicate_v unto_o any_o but_o to_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o thus_o we_o understand_v how_o jesus_n be_v anoint_v unction_n which_o unction_n be_v not_o
