take_v pain_n that_o their_o diligence_n in_o defend_v and_o uphold_v true_a religion_n and_o build_v the_o church_n of_o god_n may_v countervail_v satan_n diligence_n in_o hinder_v of_o it_o second_o it_o behoove_v all_o christian_n not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o themselves_o but_o see_v the_o devil_n labour_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o church_n special_o in_o prevail_a with_o prince_n and_o great_a man_n we_o must_v pray_v for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n church_n and_o child_n and_o every_o member_n of_o it_o by_o name_n for_o king_n &_o queen_n &c_n &c_n &_o good_a reason_n be_v there_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v so_o for_o in_o the_o good_a and_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n we_o all_o receive_v benefit_n by_o it_o and_o fare_v the_o better_a for_o it_o three_o if_o satan_n dare_v set_v upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o tempt_v he_o to_o idolatry_n and_o to_o worship_v the_o devil_n then_o much_o more_o will_v he_o be_v tempt_v we_o to_o the_o like_a sin_n and_o set_v upon_o sinful_a man_n to_o move_v he_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o make_v he_o his_o god_n but_o you_o will_v say_v objection_n there_o be_v none_o so_o mad_a to_o worship_v the_o devil_n to_o make_v he_o our_o god_n oh_o we_o defy_v he_o true_a it_o be_v answer_n man_n say_v they_o defy_v the_o devil_n and_o spit_v at_o he_o but_o alas_o if_o we_o consider_v their_o deal_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o devil_n sit_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o rule_v there_o as_o god_n do_v but_o cast_v your_o eye_n upon_o the_o three_o main_a religion_n of_o the_o world_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o turk_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o of_o the_o papist_n and_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o most_o man_n worship_v the_o devil_n and_o make_v he_o their_o god_n because_o the_o turk_n he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o jew_n worship_v god_n the_o father_n but_o not_o by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o deny_v the_o papist_n worship_n a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a christ_n forge_v by_o themselves_o and_o never_o read_v of_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o they_o make_v he_o a_o saviour_n in_o part_n &_o a_o priest_n to_o be_v creator_n or_o the_o maker_n of_o his_o creator_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o people_n do_v not_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n but_o even_o the_o devil_n himself_o let_v we_o mark_v these_o 2_o principle_n first_o that_o all_o doctrine_n set_v down_o and_o invent_v by_o man_n concern_v god_n service_n and_o worship_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n so_o say_v paul_n 1_o tim._n 4._o 1._o 3._o that_o there_o shall_v come_v false_a teacher_n which_o shall_v teach_v doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o what_o be_v these_o vers._n 3._o he_o say_v such_o as_o forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o teach_v man_n that_o some_o meat_n be_v holy_a in_o themselves_o &_o some_o unholy_a and_o not_o lawful_a to_o be_v eat_v the_o second_o principle_n be_v this_o all_o worship_n of_o god_n devise_v by_o man_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n so_o the_o gentile_n offer_v to_o idol_n paul_n say_v they_o offer_v to_o devil_n 22_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o intend_v that_o but_o rather_o by_o the_o idol_n offer_v to_o god_n so_o whatsoever_o worship_n shall_v be_v invent_v be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v indeed_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n not_o of_o god_n now_o by_o these_o two_o principle_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n perform_v by_o the_o turk_n and_o by_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v no_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o the_o worship_n of_o devil_n see_v both_o of_o they_o worship_n the_o father_n out_o of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o popery_n it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n see_v they_o worship_v god_n out_o of_o the_o true_a christ_n and_o have_v forge_v to_o themselves_o a_o false_a counterfeit_a christ._n and_o if_o paul_n may_v true_o affirm_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o worship_v not_o the_o true_a god_n but_o offer_v to_o devil_n then_o mnch_v more_o may_v it_o be_v avouch_v of_o that_o abominable_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n that_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n see_v it_o be_v more_o vile_a idolatry_n then_o that_o of_o the_o gentile_n now_o it_o will_v be_v say_v objection_n though_o the_o devil_n prevail_v thus_o with_o they_o yet_o he_o can_v prevail_v so_o with_o protestant_n neither_o can_v they_o be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o devil_n answer_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v thousand_o of_o protestant_n in_o the_o world_n who_o do_v worship_v the_o devil_n for_o all_o those_o which_o do_v only_o in_o outward_a show_n profess_v true_a religion_n but_o in_o heart_n love_v the_o world_n set_v their_o heart_n upon_o pleasure_n profit_n and_o preferment_n such_o professor_n do_v in_o truth_n make_v the_o devil_n their_o god_n and_o may_v be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o devil_n for_o to_o who_o soever_o they_o give_v their_o heart_n to_o they_o they_o do_v give_v worship_n but_o while_o they_o set_v their_o heart_n on_o these_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o love_n god_n neither_o do_v they_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o rest_n upon_o he_o as_o their_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o make_v the_o world_n their_o god_n and_o so_o worship_v the_o devil_n four_o by_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o devil_n we_o see_v those_o man_n confute_v who_o think_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v make_v a_o league_n with_o man_n as_o with_o witch_n conjurer_n etc._n etc._n for_o we_o read_v and_o know_v such_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v and_o here_o we_o have_v a_o manifest_a proof_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n offer_v a_o league_n to_o christ_n there_o be_v nothing_o want_v but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n his_o consent_n and_o if_o sinful_a man_n have_v be_v in_o christ_n stead_n questionless_a there_o have_v be_v a_o league_n and_o for_o so_o great_a gain_n he_o will_v have_v the_o devil_n his_o service_n then_o say_v jesus_n unto_o he_o 10._o avoid_v satan_n etc._n etc._n now_o follow_v the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ._n and_o first_o in_o christ_n answer_n mark_v in_o propound_v of_o it_o he_o use_v first_o a_o speech_n of_o indignation_n and_o of_o defiance_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o offer_n avoid_v satan_n as_o though_o christ_n shall_v have_v say_v i_o have_v hear_v thou_o blaspheme_v both_o i_o and_o my_o father_n &_o have_v thus_o long_o suffer_v thou_o but_o i_o will_v suffer_v thou_o no_o long_o get_v thou_o hence_o satan_n i_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o answer_v to_o thy_o temptation_n any_o more_o mark_v here_o in_o the_o answer_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o endure_v the_o devil_n temptation_n and_o reproach_n which_o concern_v his_o own_o person_n but_o when_o he_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o blaspheme_v god_n his_o father_n he_o can_v endure_v he_o no_o long_o now_o when_o he_o make_v challenge_v and_o claim_v title_n to_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n as_o though_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o they_o and_o can_v bestow_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n therein_o he_o blaspheme_v god_n his_o father_n then_o this_o teach_v we_o use_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v hear_v ungodly_a wretch_n blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o may_v not_o endure_v it_o but_o have_v indignation_n &_o great_a dislike_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o hear_v black-mouthed_a rabshekah_n blaspheme_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n by_o swear_v curse_a ban_a we_o must_v be_v touch_v with_o grief_n to_o hear_v the_o glorious_a name_n of_o our_o god_n dishonour_v and_o if_o time_n and_o place_n require_v manifest_v our_o dislike_n in_o open_a reprehension_n of_o it_o when_o ahab_n and_o jezabel_n be_v both_o wicked_a hear_v that_o naboth_n have_v blaspheme_v god_n they_o rend_v their_o clothes_n in_o token_n of_o sorrow_n so_o when_o hezechiah_n hear_v the_o blasphemy_n of_o rabshekah_n 1_o he_o rend_v his_o clothes_n and_o be_v very_o much_o grieve_v for_o it_o when_o david_n hear_v the_o gentile_n say_v 3._o where_o be_v now_o their_o god_n this_o blasphemous_a speech_n do_v great_o affect_v he_o so_o as_o his_o very_a tear_n be_v his_o drink_n and_o the_o bad_a speech_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sodom_n do_v much_o affect_v lot_n &_o vex_v his_o righteous_a soul_n 2._o pet._n 2._o 8._o and_o as_o all_o man_n must_v be_v grieve_v to_o hear_v wicked_a man_n blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o especial_o those_o that_o be_v governor_n of_o other_o and_o by_o name_n master_n of_o family_n as_o david_n say_v psal._n 101._o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o talebearer_n in_o his_o house_n much_o less_o a_o blasphemer_n

feel_v the_o weight_n and_o danger_n of_o temptation_n he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n to_o help_v we_o in_o our_o temptation_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v witness_v 18._o the_o next_o point_n to_o be_v note_v be_v the_o cause_n and_o author_n of_o his_o temptation_n he_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n this_o name_n devil_n signify_v a_o cavililer_n a_o slanderer_n a_o privy_a accuser_n for_o he_o accuse_v god_n to_o man_n as_o he_o do_v to_o euah_n gen._n 3_o ●_o have_v god_n say_v indeed_o you_o shall_v die_v 5._o nay_o but_o it_o be_v because_o god_n love_v you_o not_o for_o when_o you_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n god_n know_v you_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o god_n second_o the_o devil_n accuse_v man_n to_o god_n and_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o accuser_n of_o the_o brethren_n 10_o one_o which_o cease_v not_o to_o put_v up_o bill_n of_o accusation_n against_o we_o and_o to_o accuse_v we_o unto_o god_n as_o he_o deal_v with_o job._n three_o the_o devil_n accuse_v one_o man_n to_o another_o by_o raise_v suspicion_n and_o bad_a surmise_n and_o by_o backbiting_a one_o another_o and_o see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v satan_n a_o accuser_n 1._o let_v we_o all_o beware_v of_o accuse_v our_o brethren_n of_o slander_v and_o backbiting_a for_o such_o man_n become_v like_a unto_o the_o devil_n again_o it_o must_v admonish_v all_o man_n to_o beware_v that_o they_o do_v not_o by_o any_o accusation_n or_o slander_n seek_v to_o draw_v man_n from_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n for_o they_o which_o take_v this_o course_n make_v themselves_o devil_n incarnate_a of_o this_o sort_n be_v elyma●_n the_o sorcerer_n act._n 13._o 10._o who_o paul_n therefore_o call_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o preparation_n temptation_n now_o follow_v the_o second_o part_n viz._n the_o abode_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o wilderness_n which_o be_v set_v out_o by_o three_o circumstance_n first_o by_o his_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n second_o by_o his_o company_n there_o namely_o the_o wild_a beast_n manke_n 1._o 12._o last_o by_o those_o temptation_n wherewith_o the_o devil_n do_v encounter_v he_o within_o the_o space_n of_o those_o forty_o day_n luke_n 4._o 2._o though_o the_o particular_n be_v not_o set_v down_o by_o the_o evangelist_n the_o first_o point_n be_v christ_n fast_v in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o space_n of_o forty_o day_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o fasting_n fast_n first_o a_o daily_a fast_o which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o virtue_n of_o sobriety_n or_o a_o moderate_a use_v of_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n with_o abstinence_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o fast_v all_o man_n must_v use_v continual_o and_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o abuse_n of_o god_n creature_n by_o surfeit_v and_o drunkenness_n rome_n 13._o 12._o the_o second_o kind_n of_o fast_v be_v a_o religious_a fast_o when_o we_o abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o drink_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o fit_a for_o the_o exercise_n of_o repentance_n prayer_n and_o duty_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o fast_v 26._o the_o jew_n use_v sometime_o for_o one_o meal_n 16._o sometime_o for_o two_o or_o three_o sometime_o for_o many_o as_o 1._o sam._n 31._o 13._o they_o fast_v seven_o day_n the_o three_o be_v a_o miraculous_a fast_o when_o any_o one_o shall_v fast_v many_o day_n and_o that_o beyond_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n 28._o thus_o moses_n fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o so_o fast_v elias_n now_o there_o be_v no_o man_n able_a to_o fast_v so_o long_o by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n indeed_o paul_n do_v fast_o three_o day_n after_o his_o conversion_n and_o those_o which_o be_v with_o paul_n in_o the_o ship_n in_o that_o dangerous_a voyage_n act._n 27._o 33._o be_v say_v to_o have_v fast_v fourteen_o day_n which_o though_o some_o think_v be_v not_o mean_v of_o abstain_v from_o all_o sustenance_n but_o that_o they_o do_v eat_v very_o little_a yet_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a that_o they_o do_v eat_v nothing_o for_o the_o space_n of_o fourteen_o day_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o physician_n affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v live_v seventeen_o day_n without_o meat_n yet_o he_o can_v endure_v long_o as_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o day_n now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n and_o for_o all_o this_o his_o complexion_n be_v not_o change_v nor_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o body_n weaken_v nay_o he_o be_v not_o hungry_a till_o the_o end_n though_o man_n can_v fast_v a_o short_a time_n but_o it_o will_v weaken_v they_o and_o make_v they_o hungry_a which_o do_v prove_v this_o fast_n of_o christ_n be_v miraculous_a now_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n why_o christ_n fast_v so_o long_o and_o no_o long_o long_o first_o that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n he_o may_v come_v with_o more_o authority_n and_o reverence_n as_o when_o moses_n have_v fast_v forty_o day_n and_o bring_v the_o two_o table_n the_o people_n receive_v he_o with_o great_a reverence_n 8_o so_o likewise_o elias_n when_o he_o be_v to_o restore_v religion_n he_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n second_o he_o fast_v so_o long_o that_o he_o may_v answer_v unto_o the_o time_n that_o moses_n and_o elias_n fast_v three_o he_o fast_v no_o long_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v call_v into_o question_n his_o humanity_n whether_o he_o be_v true_a man_n yea_o or_o no_o if_o he_o have_v fast_v threescore_o or_o a_o hundred_o day_n from_o this_o miraculous_a fast_o of_o christ_n lent_n the_o papist_n fond_o gather_v their_o superstitious_a fast_n in_o lent_n be_v but_o a_o apish_a imitation_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o truth_n their_o fast_n be_v no_o fast_n but_o a_o plain_a mocke-fast_a see_v they_o eat_v as_o liberal_o and_o fare_v as_o dainty_o then_o as_o at_o any_o other_o time_n of_o the_o year_n whereas_o christ_n abstain_v from_o all_o use_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v second_o christ_n be_v move_v thereunto_o by_o the_o instinct_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n they_o have_v no_o word_n to_o warrant_v they_o three_o christ_n do_v thus_o fast_o but_o once_o in_o all_o his_o life_n but_o their_o fast_n be_v continual_a every_o year_n and_o therefore_o these_o reason_n prove_v that_o their_o collection_n be_v frivolous_a the_o second_o special_a point_n to_o be_v mark_v in_o the_o abode_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o wilderness_n be_v his_o converse_v with_o the_o wild_a beast_n mark_v 1._o 13._o some_o say_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o converse_v among_o the_o wild_a beast_n beast_n be_v that_o they_o may_v do_v he_o that_o homage_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o creator_n but_o this_o opinion_n have_v no_o warrant_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o little_a truth_n in_o it_o for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v worthy_a of_o all_o homage_n yet_o he_o come_v not_o to_o this_o end_n into_o the_o world_n but_o rather_o to_o take_v on_o he_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n but_o the_o true_a cause_n be_v this_o whereas_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o wilderness_n one_o which_o be_v inhabit_v and_o where_o john_n baptist_n do_v baptize_v &_o preach_v and_o another_o not_o inhabit_v where_o live_v all_o kind_n of_o wild_a beast_n as_o lion_n tiger_n bear_n etc._n etc._n christ_n make_v choice_n of_o that_o which_o be_v without_o the_o society_n of_o man_n wherein_o be_v only_o the_o wild_a beast_n to_o bear_v he_o company_n that_o so_o in_o this_o great_a combat_n against_o the_o devil_n he_o may_v show_v he_o have_v no_o aid_n nor_o comfort_n of_o any_o man_n but_o that_o he_o overcome_v by_o his_o own_o power_n and_o therefore_o 〈◊〉_d the_o honour_n and_o praise_n of_o the_o victory_n belong_v to_o christ_n jesus_n alone_o and_o beside_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v behold_v the_o estate_n of_o god_n church_n here_o upon_o earth_n that_o she_o live_v here_o with_o wicked_a man_n which_o be_v no_o better_a than_o wild_a beast_n as_o isaiah_n 11._o 6._o do_v testify_v the_o three_o circumstance_n whereby_o the_o

do_v set_v upon_o christ_n by_o sundry_a small_a light_a and_o weak_a temptation_n thereby_o make_v a_o entrance_n to_o his_o fierce_a and_o strong_a temptation_n for_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n
