pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n now_o if_o he_o have_v power_n to_o set_v he_o there_o why_o may_v he_o not_o also_o carry_v he_o thither_o god_n ordain_v this_o as_o well_o as_o his_o temptation_n the_o use_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o man_n may_v be_v transport_v by_o the_o devil_n from_o place_n to_o place_n as_o the_o record_n of_o all_o age_n do_v report_n this_o one_o thing_n yet_o observe_v wherein_o the_o common_a opinion_n fail_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v convey_v a_o man_n alive_a so_o far_o in_o a_o little_a time_n as_o many_o man_n think_v as_o a_o thousand_o or_o two_o thousand_o mile_n in_o a_o hour_n for_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o endure_v such_o violent_a motion_n and_o yet_o live_v as_o experience_n teach_v let_v a_o man_n fall_v from_o some_o high_a steeple_n and_o his_o breath_n will_v be_v go_v and_o he_o dead_a before_o he_o come_v at_o the_o ground_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o motion_n indeed_o the_o devil_n can_v carry_v a_o man_n very_o swift_o but_o yet_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o man_n life_n he_o must_v prolong_v his_o time_n far_o more_o than_o otherwise_o of_o himself_o he_o need_v to_o do_v second_o permit_v hence_o we_o learn_v that_o by_o god_n permission_n the_o devil_n may_v have_v power_n over_o the_o body_n of_o god_n own_o child_n which_o be_v true_a believer_n to_o transport_v they_o from_o

have_v do_v more_o than_o this_o to_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n he_o may_v possess_v their_o body_n as_o he_o do_v the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n daughter_n mat._n 15._o 22._o he_o may_v torment_v they_o

answer_v whether_o a_o true_a believer_n may_v be_v bewitch_v answ._n he_o may_v there_o be_v none_o upon_o earth_n so_o faithful_a and_o holy_a but_o if_o god_n permit_v satan_n can_v afflict_v their_o body_n grievous_o and_o therefore_o also_o they_o may_v be_v bewitch_v it_o be_v but_o the_o fancy_n of_o presumptuous_a person_n when_o they_o say_v their_o faith_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o all_o the_o witch_n in_o the_o world_n can_v hurt_v they_o for_o if_o god_n permit_v satan_n can_v grievous_o afflict_v man_n body_n as_o he_o do_v the_o body_n of_o job._n yea_o he_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n as_o have_v be_v show_v solomon_n speak_v of_o outward_a thing_n say_v true_o 2._o all_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o all_o and_o the_o same_o condition_n be_v to_o the_o just_a and_o to_o the_o wicked_a now_o the_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v bewitch_v as_o all_o will_v grant_v why_o then_o may_v not_o the_o godly_a also_o see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o outward_a evil_n this_o therefore_o must_v abate_v their_o pride_n that_o stand_v so_o much_o on_o their_o strong_a faith_n behold_v this_o fact_n of_o satan_n to_o the_o holy_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o hereby_o learn_v for_o thy_o humiliation_n that_o if_o god_n permit_v satan_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v upon_o thy_o body_n great_a affliction_n further_o observe_v the_o place_n whither_o satan_n carry_v our_o saviour_n christ_n into_o the_o holy_a city_n that_o be_v jerusalem_n quest._n why_o be_v it_o call_v holy_a see_v now_o it_o be_v a_o pollute_a place_n full_a of_o sinful_a people_n answ._n it_o be_v call_v holy_a for_o these_o cause_n 1._o because_o here_o be_v the_o lord_n temple_n the_o place_n of_o his_o solemn_a worship_n wherein_o be_v the_o holy_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n prescribe_v for_o god_n worship_n

to_o other_o nation_n the_o use_n hence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o at_o this_o time_n jerusalem_fw-la be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n indeed_o it_o be_v very_o corrupt_a both_o for_o

else_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v not_o have_v call_v it_o the_o holy_a city_n now_o if_o jerusalem_n at_o this_o time_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n then_o then_o may_v we_o well_o say_v that_o in_o england_n god_n have_v his_o true_a church_n for_o let_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o church_n be_v as_o they_o be_v yet_o shall_v it_o match_v jerusalem_n in_o the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n church_n they_o have_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n read_v and_o expound_v so_o have_v we_o and_o the_o gospel_n also_o which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o man_n salvation_n they_o have_v the_o sacrament_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n answerable_a thereto_o we_o have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o also_o a_o true_a and_o holy_a form_n of_o serve_v god_n their_a jerusalem_n be_v a_o mother_n city_n and_o though_o we_o can_v say_v so_o much_o in_o that_o behalf_n yet_o have_v our_o church_n be_v a_o nurse_n to_o neighbour_n church_n in_o germany_n

so_o that_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n join_v themselves_o to_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o legal_a service_n and_o forsake_v they_o not_o till_o

god_n those_o therefore_o that_o make_v a_o separation_n from_o our_o church_n because_o of_o corruption_n in_o it_o be_v far_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v this_o make_v well_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o so_o corrupt_v a_o place_n as_o jerusalem_n in_o regard_n of_o church_n prerogative_n be_v a_o holy_a city_n for_o they_o
