powerful_a word_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v cast_v out_o of_o mary_n magdalene_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n speak_v of_o in_o holy_a writ_n be_v only_o all_o manner_n of_o filthy_a disease_n or_o violent_a fiery_a distemper_n in_o man_n that_o hurry_v he_o about_o any_o desperate_a wickedness_n whatsoever_o oftentimes_o increase_v so_o powerful_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o mark_n the_o five_o that_o it_o do_v not_o only_a occasion_n he_o to_o rend_v his_o own_o body_n and_o break_v iron_n chain_n but_o also_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o tear_v any_o one_o in_o piece_n until_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n shine_v into_o his_o distemper_a soul_n with_o that_o golden_a grace_n of_o true_a faith_n through_o which_o that_o imaginary_a devil_n be_v chain_v up_o whereby_o all_o his_o fleshly_a good_n be_v spoil_v of_o ever_o have_v power_n in_o he_o as_o former_o and_o be_v now_o in_o his_o right_a mind_n at_o the_o glorious_a foot_n of_o christ_n jesus_n through_o his_o own_o

serious_o consider_v that_o if_o cain_n or_o abel_n be_v both_o beget_v by_o adam_n upon_o the_o body_n of_o eve_n as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o man_n vain_o imagine_v from_o one_o bare_a scripture-record_n which_o they_o understand_v not_o i_o will_v know_v of_o that_o man_n that_o be_v offend_v with_o i_o concern_v this_o point_n why_o cain_n be_v nominate_v in_o holy_a writ_n to_o be_v of_o that_o wicked_a one_o aforesaid_a and_o brand_v as_o a_o outcast_n fugitive_a vagabond_n and_o curse_a from_o the_o divine_a presence_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o natural_a presence_n of_o his_o parent_n for_o ever_o and_o condemn_v with_o balaam_n and_o core_n as_o a_o perish_a castaway_n this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o that_o no_o spiritual_a rational_a man_n that_o be_v sober_a dare_v say_v that_o either_o adam_n or_o eve_n be_v that_o wicked_a one_o from_o whence_o the_o curse_a spirit_n of_o cain_n spring_v why_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o opprobrious_a name_n attribute_v unto_o they_o through_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n moreover_o you_o may_v know_v that_o yea_o that_o wicked_a one_o from_o whence_o cain_n spirit_n proceed_v can_v not_o possible_o have_v any_o relation_n to_o adam_n or_o eve_n though_o cain_n be_v conceive_v in_o her_o womb_n and_o bear_v of_o her_o body_n and_o that_o because_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a

with_o their_o whole_a generation_n of_o righteous_a abel_n seth_n or_o abraham_n in_o that_o glorious_a hide_a saying_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n now_o one_o scripture_n more_o which_o shall_v be_v against_o all_o gainsayer_n interpret_v which_o be_v this_o matthew_z the_o four_o beginning_n at_o the_o first_o verse_n then_o be_v jesus_n lead_v up_o of_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o when_o he_o have_v fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n he_o be_v afterward_o a_o hunger_a and_o when_o the_o tempter_n come_v to_o he_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n command_v that_o these_o stone_n be_v make_v bread_n then_o he_o answer_v man_n shall_v not_o live_v by_o bread_n only_o but_o by_o every_o word_n of_o god_n or_o that_o word_n that_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n then_o the_o devil_n take_v he_o up_o into_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o set_v he_o on_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n cast_v thyself_o down_o for_o it_o be_v write_v he_o have_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v concern_v thou_o etc._n etc._n again_o the_o devil_n take_v he_o up_o into_o a_o exceed_a high_a mountain_n and_o show_v he_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o and_o say_v unto_o he_o all_z these_o thing_n will_v i_o give_v thou_o if_o thou_o will_v fall_v down_o and_o worship_v i_o etc._n etc._n in_o that_o these_o hide_a say_n have_v their_o dependence_n on_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n i_o must_v from_o thence_o make_v way_n to_o this_o divine_a secret_n as_o if_o thou_o can_v but_o understand_v what_o thou_o read_v thou_o shall_v find_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o christ_n be_v baptize_v by_o john_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o he_o that_o do_v empower_v he_o to_o encounter_v with_o the_o devil_n in_o which_o dispute_n we_o must_v observe_v these_o two_o particular_n 1._o who_o this_o tempter_n or_o devil_n be_v 2._o the_o nature_n of_o this_o temptation_n first_o take_v notice_n that_o this_o tempter_n be_v one_o of_o the_o wise_a and_o sober_a yet_o subtle_a disputant_n among_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n and_o therefore_o appoint_v by_o they_o to_o have_v conference_n with_o christ_n as_o by_o and_o by_o you_o shall_v read_v for_o if_o you_o cast_v your_o eye_n on_o john_n the_o three_o the_o five_o six_o and_o seven_o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v there_o go_v out_o to_o he_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o judea_n and_o all_o the_o region_n round_o about_o jordan_n and_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o in_o jordan_n confefse_v their_o sin_n as_o touch_v these_o john_n use_v no_o word_n of_o reproof_n or_o dislike_n in_o the_o least_o but_o when_o he_o see_v many_o of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n come_v to_o his_o baptism_n he_o forthwith_o upbraid_v they_o with_o a_o sad_a yet_o just_a sentence_n say_v o_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v forewarn_v you_o to_o flee_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o that_o wicked_a one_o that_o only_o come_v to_o dispute_v and_o to_o cavel_v therefore_o john_n cut_v they_o short_a with_o these_o word_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n meet_v for_o repentance_n and_o think_v not_o to_o say_v within_o yourselves_o we_o have_v abraham_n to_o our_o father_n then_o john_n proceed_v further_a and_o tell_v they_o i_o indeed_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n unto_o repentance_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v mighty_a than_o i_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o bare_a he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n now_o when_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n hear_v this_o they_o forthwith_o commissionated_a one_o of_o the_o wise_a and_o subtle_a devil_n among_o they_o which_o by_o experience_n they_o find_v be_v best_a verse_v in_o scripture_n to_o see_v if_o this_o mandevil_n can_v persuade_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o baptize_v they_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n now_o that_o you_o may_v no_o long_o doubt_n but_o that_o this_o tempter_n or_o devil_n be_v only_o a_o man_n as_o aforesaid_a cast_v thy_o eye_n into_o deuteronomy_n 6._o and_o the_o six_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v you_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n as_o you_o tempt_v he_o in_o massah_n so_o read_v heb._n 3._o 9_o now_o tell_v i_o friend_n who_o those_o be_v that_o tempt_v the_o lord_n be_v they_o not_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n man_n and_o woman_n so_o this_o tempter_n or_o devil_n that_o i_o be_o now_o treat_v of_o be_v only_o a_o wise_a subtle_a man_n as_o you_o have_v already_o hear_v and_o will_v in_o this_o temptation_n be_v make_v more_o apparent_a 2._o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o temptation_n begin_v at_o these_o word_n then_o be_v jesus_n lead_v up_o of_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n first_o mind_n the_o spirit_n that_o lead_v jesus_n up_o into_o the_o wilderness_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o come_v upon_o he_o at_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n a_o little_a before_o the_o tempter_n come_v as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o three_o of_o matthew_n i_o have_v find_v it_o true_a by_o experience_n that_o whosoever_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n can_v be_v free_a from_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v the_o cavil_v contentious_a dispute_n of_o unreasonable_a and_o unmerciful_a man_n but_o second_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o this_o wilderness_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o wilderness_n yield_v fruit_n for_o the_o support_v of_o life_n where_o nothing_o

of_o cain_n be_v a_o mere_a cheat_n yea_o lead_v he_o forth_o to_o nothing_o but_o pride_n oppression_n and_o cruelty_n for_o by_o that_o wisdom_n they_o put_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n to_o death_n as_o in_o the_o eight_o verse_n therefore_o you_o that_o have_v eye_n may_v see_v what_o this_o learning_n and_o knowledge_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o cain_n be_v tutor_v in_o that_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o world_n which_o be_v foolishness_n with_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o come_v to_o tempt_v or_o dispute_v with_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n who_o wisdom_n be_v give_v he_o by_o inspiration_n or_o revelation_n in_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o say_v because_o the_o wisdom_n of_o cain_n can_v receive_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v this_o precious_a soul_n o_o how_o they_o rail_v with_o term_n of_o a_o fool_n a_o ass_n a_o dunce_n a_o coxcomb_n a_o heretical_a blasphemer_n a_o ignoramus_fw-la one_o that_o have_v no_o sense_n these_o and_o such_o like_a term_n this_o curse_a brood_n will_v brand_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n with_o the_o only_a wise_a man_n in_o christ_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o lord_n in_o 1_o cor._n 1._o 19_o say_v i_o will_v destroy_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o will_v bring_v to_o nothing_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o prudent_a where_o be_v the_o

of_o god_n in_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n be_v wise_a than_o that_o great_a knowledge_n in_o the_o seed_n of_o cain_n for_o take_v this_o infallible_a truth_n along_o with_o you_o which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o they_o be_v never_o give_v to_o the_o wise_a learned_a man_n in_o those_o day_n for_o say_v christ_n to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o

be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n for_o the_o proper_a use_n of_o his_o bless_a seed_n of_o faith_n again_o the_o seed_n of_o cain_n be_v educate_v in_o the_o fullness_n and_o plenty_n of_o this_o

so_o hurry_v in_o their_o coach_n and_o sedan_n that_o if_o possible_a the_o cold_a wind_n shall_v not_o blow_v on_o they_o nor_o the_o glorious_a sun_n with_o his_o beam_n shall_v scorch_v they_o
