scripture_n make_v of_o such_o as_o be_v good_a in_o evil_a place_n thus_o god_n commend_v the_o church_n of_o pergamus_n i_o know_v thy_o work_n and_o where_o thou_o dwell_v even_o where_o satan_n

where_o satan_n dwell_v pergamus_n be_v a_o city_n more_o give_v to_o idolatry_n then_o all_o the_o city_n of_o asia_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o that_o hold_v fast_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n 22._o and_o do_v not_o deny_v his_o faith_n to_o be_v a_o saint_n in_o nero_n be_v family_n be_v very_o commendable_a and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v 1._o because_o many_o of_o god_n child_n have_v fail_v and_o abate_v much_o of_o their_o goodness_n in_o bad_a place_n how_o do_v peter_n fall_v in_o the_o high_a priest_n hall_n though_o when_o in_o good_a company_n he_o be_v zealous_a yet_o there_o he_o deny_v christ_n so_o abraham_n when_o he_o be_v in_o gerar_n and_o isaac_n also_o deny_v their_o wife_n so_o joseph_n in_o pharaoh_n court_n and_o learn_v the_o court_n oath_n to_o

bad_a place_n be_v like_o bad_a air_n for_o zeal_n to_o breath_n in_o as_o sheep_n among_o brair_n lose_v part_n of_o their_o fleece_n so_o good_a man_n in_o bad_a company_n lose_v part_n of_o their_o

evidence_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o a_o man_n goodness_n to_o be_v good_a in_o a_o bad_a place_n this_o show_v thy_o grace_n to_o be_v grace_n indeed_o when_o thou_o have_v discouragement_n to_o be_v good_a and_o then_o be_v holy_a this_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o thou_o be_v sincere_o good_a and_o that_o thy_o goodness_n be_v not_o counterfeit_a and_o take_v up_o upon_o any_o sinister_a and_o hypocritical_a end_n it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v good_a with_o the_o good_a but_o it_o be_v most_o excellent_a to_o be_v good_a among_o the_o bad_a and_o to_o be_v best_a among_o the_o worst_a from_o hence_o learn_v the_o power_n and_o unlooseableness_n of_o save_a grace_n 1._o grace_n make_v a_o man_n good_a in_o the_o worst_a time_n let_v a_o man_n be_v cast_v into_o prison_n or_o

the_o oil_n will_v not_o mix_v with_o the_o water_n but_o will_v lie_v on_o the_o top_n grace_n will_v swim_v upon_o the_o water_n of_o temptation_n as_o all_o the_o water_n in_o the_o salt_n sea_n can_v make_v the_o fish_n salt_n so_o all_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o world_n can_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o grace_n a_o good_a man_n like_o the_o fish_n retain_v his_o goodness_n in_o bad_a place_n thus_o joseph_n retain_v his_o goodness_n in_o the_o court_n of_o wicked_a pharaoh_n nehemiah_n in_o the_o court_n of_o artaxerxes_n obadiah_n in_o ahab_n court_n daniel_n in_o nebuchadnezar_n the_o saint_n in_o nero_n household_n and_o abijah_n in_o wicked_a and_o idolatrous_a ieroboam_n house_n though_o it_o be_v a_o commendable_a thing_n to_o be_v good_a in_o bad_a place_n 2._o yet_o you_o ought_v to_o bewail_v your_o live_n in_o bad_a place_n it_o be_v your_o misery_n though_o not_o your_o sin_n thus_o do_v isaiah_n woe_n be_v i_o i_o be_o undo_v 〈◊〉_d because_o i_o be_o a_o

another_o may_v be_v to_o check_v pride_n there_o be_v no_o great_a temptation_n in_o the_o world_n to_o pride_n than_o eminency_n in_o grace_n pride_n it_o be_v that_o worst_a fruit_n which_o grow_v upon_o the_o best_a stock_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o ornament_n of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o endowment_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o stir_v up_o pride_n 9_o and_o this_o be_v paul_n case_n after_o his_o abundance_n of_o revelation_n there_o be_v a_o thorn_n in_o his_o flesh_n a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v he_o lest_o he_o shall_v be_v lift_v up_o god_n will_v suffer_v those_o which_o have_v strong_a grace_n to_o be_v strong_o tempt_v to_o check_v the_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n 3._o the_o godly_a be_v more_o able_a to_o grapple_v with_o strong_a temptation_n then_o weak_a christian_n be_v and_o so_o god_n suit_v the_o service_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o people_n to_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o strength_n of_o grace_n 3._o another_o reason_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o devil_n 3._o from_o that_o malice_n which_o he_o bear_v to_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o especial_o to_o those_o who_o have_v most_o grace_n who_o god_n love_v most_o the_o devil_n hate_v most_o when_o the_o voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v to_o christ_n thou_o be_v my_o well-beloved_a son_n than_o come_v the_o devil_n to_o assault_v and_o to_o tempt_v he_o if_o you_o be_v the_o object_n of_o god_n dear_a love_n you_o will_v be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o devil_n deep_a rage_n and_o though_o he_o can_v damn_v thy_o soul_n yet_o he_o will_v trouble_v thy_o conscience_n if_o he_o can_v break_v thy_o head_n he_o will_v bruise_v thy_o heel_n 2._o it_o also_o proceed_v from_o the_o devil_n knowledge_n as_o well_o as_o his_o malice_n he_o know_v if_o he_o can_v but_o get_v those_o which_o be_v strong_a in_o grace_n to_o sin_n he_o shall_v do_v the_o more_o mischief_n as_o 1._o it_o will_v open_v the_o mouth_n of_o wicked_a man_n to_o blaspheme_v god_n and_o religion_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n 14._o by_o this_o deed_n thou_o have_v give_v great_a ●ecasion_n to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o blaspheme_v how_o be_v the_o mouth_n of_o god_n enemy_n open_v to_o blaspheme_v his_o name_n 2._o it_o will_v embolden_v the_o weak_a to_o sin_n with_o more_o freedom_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v those_o which_o be_v eminent_a to_o fall_v and_o thus_o the_o example_n of_o peter_n make_v the_o gentile_n to_o judaize_v 14._o when_o the_o strong_a shall_v abuse_v his_o liberty_n he_o become_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o those_o which_o be_v weak_a 9_o when_o phigellus_n and_o hermogenes_n turn_v away_o from_o the_o faith_n how_o do_v all_o asia_n turn_v aside_o also_o 15_o man_n of_o eminent_a gift_n when_o they_o shall_v apostatise_v how_o do_v they_o draw_v other_o in_o abundance_n 3._o it_o will_v provoke_v god_n to_o inflict_v heavy_a judgement_n on_o the_o place_n where_o you_o dwell_v thus_o the_o devil_n know_v that_o if_o he_o can_v get_v david_n to_o number_v the_o people_n it_o will_v procure_v a_o judgement_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o stand_v up_o against_o david_n but_o against_o israel_n and_o provoke_v he_o to_o number_v the_o people_n 1._o he_o well_o know_v if_o he_o can_v prevail_v with_o david_n all_o israel_n shall_v suffer_v for_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o where_o there_o be_v strength_n of_o grace_n there_o may_v be_v and_o be_v strong_a temptation_n object_n but_o here_o may_v a_o objection_n be_v raise_v from_o that_o of_o john_n 18_o where_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o 18._o and_o keep_v himself_o that_o the_o wicked_a one_o touch_v he_o not_o &_o that_o they_o which_o be_v strong_a have_v overcome_v the_o wicked_a one_o and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o how_o can_v that_o be_v truth_n that_o strong_a temptation_n from_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v confistent_a with_o strong_a grace_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o it_o be_v say_v sol._n the_o wicked_a one_o touch_v he_o not_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v absolute_o as_o if_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o tempt_v a_o man_n at_o all_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o restriction_n of_o the_o clause_n he_o touch_v he_o not_o that_o be_v with_o a_o deadly_a touch_n and_o so_o cajetan_n this_o phrase_n exelude_v not_o the_o kind_n of_o temptation_n but_o that_o we_o be_v not_o burt_n or_o eternal_o dostroy_v by_o they_o but_o i_o conceive_v rather_o that_o these_o word_n have_v a_o peculiar_a reference_n to_o the_o 16_o verse_n where_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o a_o sin_n unto_o death_n the_o devil_n shall_v not_o prevail_v or_o touch_v a_o man_n so_o as_o to_o commit_v that_o sin_n which_o be_v unto_o death_n though_o he_o may_v tempt_v and_o will_v be_v continual_o assault_v a_o man_n yet_o he_o shall_v never_o prevail_v against_o he_o so_o as_o to_o draw_v he_o to_o the_o commit_n of_o that_o sin_n 1._o from_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o indulgence_n of_o god_n to_o weak_a christian_n 1_o whilst_o their_o grace_n be_v weak_a their_o temptation_n shall_v not_o be_v strong_a god_n will_v not_o put_v weak_a christian_n
