the_o word_n of_o christ_n answer_n take_v out_o of_o deut._n 6._o 16._o thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n first_o we_o must_v search_v what_o this_o word_n to_o tempt_v signify_v second_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v tempt_v three_o the_o cause_n and_o root_n of_o this_o tempt_a of_o god_n first_o god_n to_o tempt_v god_n be_v to_o prove_v or_o to_o make_v trial_n whether_o god_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o scripture_n report_v he_o to_o be_v namely_o whether_o he_o be_v so_o just_a so_o merciful_a so_o mighty_a as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n describe_v he_o to_o be_v so_o the_o propet_n david_n expound_v it_o psal._n 95._o 9_o your_o father_n be_v tempt_v i_o and_o prove_v i_o in_o the_o desert_n where_o to_o tempt_v be_v to_o prove_v

not_o simple_o to_o tempt_v and_o to_o make_v trial_n of_o god_n but_o to_o tempt_v god_n be_v to_o make_v needless_a trial_n of_o god_n power_n etc._n etc._n when_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o try_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o it_o be_v take_v here_o in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v that_o be_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v needless_a and_o unnecessary_a experience_n and_o trial_n of_o god_n power_n and_o goodness_n three_o the_o cause_n which_o move_v man_n to_o tempt_v god_n be_v a_o distrustful_a and_o unbelieve_a heart_n even_o want_v of_o faith_n so_o the_o israelite_n tempt_v god_n psal._n 78._o ver_n 18._o 22._o they_o tempt_v god_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o require_v meat_n for_o their_o lust_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v vers_n 22._o because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o do_v not_o trust_v in_o his_o help_n because_o they_o do_v not_o rely_v upon_o his_o care_n and_o fatherly_a providence_n so_o that_o unbelief_n be_v the_o root_n of_o this_o their_o tempt_a of_o god_n so_o then_o to_o tempt_v god_n be_v to_o make_v needless_a and_o unnecessary_a trial_n and_o experience_n of_o his_o mercy_n goodness_n power_n and_o justice_n proceed_v from_o a_o distrust_v heart_n now_o god_n may_v be_v tempt_v five_o manner_n of_o way_n tempt_v first_o when_o man_n will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o appoint_v god_n the_o time_n when_o the_o place_n where_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n must_v help_v they_o and_o accomplish_v his_o promise_n to_o they_o thus_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n want_v water_n 7._o they_o

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

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

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

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

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
