nothing_o in_o he_o to_o work_v upon_o or_o to_o give_v he_o any_o advantage_n over_o he_o and_o thus_o he_o daily_o tempt_v man_n by_o lay_v all_o sort_n of_o bait_n and_o snare_n before_o they_o go_v about_o continual_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v seduce_v and_o destroy_v and_o as_o far_o as_o god_n permit_v he_o and_o his_o power_n reach_v he_o suit_v his_o temptation_n as_o near_o as_o he_o can_v to_o the_o humour_n and_o appetite_n and_o inclination_n of_o man_n contrive_v they_o into_o such_o circumstance_n as_o that_o he_o may_v ply_v his_o temptation_n upon_o they_o to_o the_o great_a advantage_n propound_v such_o object_n to_o they_o as_o may_v most_o probable_o draw_v forth_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n and_o kindle_v their_o irregular_a desire_n and_o inflame_v their_o lust_n and_o tempt_v their_o evil_a inclination_n that_o way_n which_o they_o be_v most_o strong_o bend_v he_o tempt_v the_o covetous_a man_n with_o gain_n the_o ambitious_a man_n with_o preferment_n the_o voluptuous_a man_n with_o carnal_a and_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o where_o none_o of_o these_o bait_n will_v take_v he_o stir_v up_o his_o instrument_n to_o persecute_v those_o who_o be_v steadfast_a and_o confirm_v in_o resolution_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n to_o try_v if_o he_o can_v work_v upon_o their_o fear_n and_o shake_v their_o constancy_n and_o fidelity_n to_o god_n and_o goodness_n that_o way_n and_o all_o this_o he_o do_v with_o a_o direct_a design_n and_o earnest_a desire_n to_o seduce_v man_n from_o their_o duty_n and_o to_o betray_v they_o to_o sin_n but_o thus_o god_n tempt_v no_o man_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v that_o no_o man_n when_o he_o be_v tempt_v be_v tempt_v of_o god_n god_n have_v no_o design_n to_o seduce_v any_o man_n to_o sin_n he_o often_o prove_v the_o obedience_n of_o man_n and_o suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o divers_a temptation_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o exercise_v of_o their_o obedience_n and_o other_o virtue_n and_o he_o permit_v bad_a man_n to_o be_v assault_v with_o great_a temptation_n and_o as_o a_o punishment_n of_o their_o former_a obstinacy_n and_o impiety_n withdraw_v the_o aid_n and_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n from_o they_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o weakness_n and_o folly_n but_o not_o so_o as_o to_o take_v away_o all_o restraint_n of_o his_o grace_n even_o from_o bad_a man_n unless_o it_o be_v upon_o very_o high_a provocation_n and_o a_o long_a and_o obstinate_a continuance_n in_o sin_n but_o god_n never_o tempt_v any_o man_n with_o any_o intention_n to_o seduce_v he_o to_o sin_n and_o with_o a_o desire_n he_o shall_v do_v wicked_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o instrument_n in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v far_o from_o god_n to_o tempt_v any_o man_n and_o whenever_o in_o the_o ordinary_a course_n and_o by_o the_o common_a permission_n of_o his_o providence_n man_n fall_v into_o temptation_n the_o utmost_a that_o god_n do_v be_v to_o leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o and_o he_o do_v not_o do_v this_o neither_o but_o to_o those_o who_o have_v high_o provoke_v he_o to_o depart_v from_o they_o that_o be_v to_o those_o who_o have_v just_o deserve_v to_o be_v so_o deal_v withal_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o proposition_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o reject_v namely_o that_o god_n tempt_v man_n and_o have_v show_v as_o clear_o as_o i_o can_v how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v limit_v and_o understand_v i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o propound_v to_o consider_v viz._n the_o manner_n in_o which_o the_o apostle_n reject_v this_o proposition_n let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v i_o be_o tempt_v of_o god_n by_o which_o manner_n of_o speak_v he_o insinuate_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o lay_v their_o fault_n upon_o god_n for_o when_o he_o say_v let_v no_o man_n say_v so_o he_o intimate_v that_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o say_v thus_o and_o it_o be_v probable_a some_o do_v say_v so_o to_o excuse_v themselves_o for_o their_o desert_v their_o religion_n upon_o the_o temptation_n of_o persecution_n and_o suffer_v it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a that_o man_n may_v lay_v the_o fault_n upon_o god_n providence_n which_o expose_v they_o to_o these_o difficult_a trial_n and_o thereby_o tempt_v they_o to_o forsake_v their_o religion_n but_o however_o this_o be_v we_o find_v it_o very_o natural_a to_o man_n to_o transfer_v their_o fault_n upon_o other_o man_n be_v natural_o sensible_a when_o they_o offend_v and_o do_v contrary_a to_o their_o duty_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n of_o which_o man_n will_v be_v glad_a to_o ease_v themselves_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v and_o they_o think_v it_o be_v a_o mitigation_n and_o excuse_n of_o their_o fault_n if_o they_o do_v not_o proceed_v only_o from_o themselves_o but_o from_o the_o violence_n and_o compulsion_n the_o temptation_n and_o instigation_n of_o other_o but_o especial_o man_n be_v very_o glad_a to_o lay_v their_o fault_n upon_o god_n because_o he_o be_v a_o full_a and_o sufficient_a excuse_n nothing_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v that_o come_v from_o he_o thus_o adam_n do_v upon_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o very_a first_o sin_n that_o mankind_n be_v guilty_a of_o when_o god_n charge_v he_o for_o break_v of_o his_o law_n by_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o forbid_a tree_n he_o endeavour_v to_o excuse_v himself_o by_o lay_v the_o fault_n oblique_o upon_o god_n the_o woman_n who_o thou_o give_v to_o be_v with_o i_o she_o give_v i_o of_o the_o tree_n and_o i_o do_v eat_v the_o woman_n who_o thou_o give_v to_o be_v with_o i_o he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o derive_v the_o fault_n upon_o god_n and_o though_o this_o be_v very_o unreasonable_a yet_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v very_o natural_a man_n will_v fain_o have_v the_o pleasure_n of_o commit_v sin_n but_o then_o they_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o remove_v as_o much_o of_o the_o trouble_n and_o guilt_n of_o it_o from_o themselves_o as_o they_o can_v second_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o use_v do_v insinuate_v further_o to_o we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o false_a but_o a_o impious_a assertion_n to_o say_v that_o god_n tempt_v man_n to_o sin_n he_o speak_v of_o it_o not_o only_o as_o a_o thing_n unfit_a to_o be_v say_v but_o fit_a to_o be_v reject_v with_o the_o great_a indignation_n let_v no_o man_n say_v that_o be_v far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o affirm_v any_o thing_n so_o impious_a and_o so_o dishonourable_a to_o god_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a and_o righteous_a nature_n of_o god_n and_o to_o those_o plain_a declaration_n which_o he_o have_v make_v of_o himself_o than_o to_o seduce_v man_n to_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o no_o man_n that_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n can_v entertain_v the_o least_o suspicion_n of_o his_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n or_o give_v heed_n to_o any_o principle_n or_o doctrine_n from_o whence_o so_o odious_a and_o abominable_a a_o consequence_n may_v be_v draw_v i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n i_o propound_v to_o consider_v viz._n the_o reason_n or_o argument_n which_o the_o apostle_n bring_v against_o this_o impious_a suggestion_n that_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v with_o evil_a and_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v imagine_v that_o he_o shall_v tempt_v any_o man_n to_o it_o let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v i_o be_o tempt_v of_o god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v with_o evil_a neither_o tempt_v he_o any_o man._n and_o in_o speak_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v first_o consider_v the_o strength_n and_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n and_o second_o the_o nature_n and_o kind_a of_o it_o first_o the_o strength_n and_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n god_n can_v be_v tempt_v with_o evil_a neither_o tempt_v he_o any_o man_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d he_o be_v untemptable_a by_o evil_n he_o can_v be_v draw_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v bad_a himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v he_o shall_v have_v any_o inclination_n or_o design_n to_o seduce_v other_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o strong_a and_o forcible_a argument_n if_o we_o consider_v first_o the_o proposition_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v ground_v that_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v by_o evil_a second_o the_o consequence_n that_o clear_o follow_v from_o it_o and_o that_o be_v that_o because_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v by_o evil_a therefore_o he_o can_v tempt_v any_o man_n to_o it_o first_o we_o will_v consider_v the_o proposition_n upon_o which_o this_o argument_n be_v build_v and_o that_o be_v that_o god_n can_v be_v
