and_o peter_n or_o else_o by_o himself_o in_o some_o assume_v bodily_a shape_n now_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v christ_n tempt_v i_o answer_v howsoever_o some_o good_a man_n think_v christ_n temptation_n be_v only_o in_o motion_n inward_o and_o not_o external_o and_o visible_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v chief_o external_o and_o in_o a_o bodily_a shape_n assume_v their_o reason_n for_o their_o opinion_n be_v two_o 1_o because_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o devil_n show_v christ_n all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n in_o a_o moment_n which_o to_o do_v in_o a_o corporal_a manner_n be_v impossible_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o in_o motion_n and_o cogitation_n but_o that_o be_v but_o to_o insist_v in_o the_o question_n and_o when_o god_n shall_v bring_v we_o to_o that_o place_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o even_o this_o be_v do_v real_o and_o not_o only_o in_o imagination_n 2_o reason_n out_o of_o heb._n 4.19_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v tempt_v in_o all_o thing_n like_o we_o now_o say_v they_o our_o temptation_n be_v inward_a by_o cogitation_n and_o suggestion_n and_o therefore_o so_o be_v he_o but_o this_o be_v much_o weak_a than_o the_o former_a for_o if_o he_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n tempt_v like_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o be_v external_o tempt_v as_o we_o be_v adam_n by_o satan_n in_o the_o external_a shape_n of_o a_o serpent_n saul_n by_o satan_n in_o samuel_n shape_n and_o it_o be_v the_o general_a confession_n of_o witch_n that_o their_o spirit_n appear_v in_o a_o external_a shape_n of_o cat_n mouse_n etc._n etc._n our_o reason_n which_o probable_o conclude_v the_o contrary_n for_o it_o be_v no_o fundamental_a point_n necessary_o and_o stiff_o to_o be_v hold_v because_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o plain_a in_o it_o be_v these_o reason_n christ_n temptation_n external_a and_o in_o a_o bodily_a shape_n assume_v for_o four_o reason_n 1_o as_o satan_n in_o his_o combat_n overcome_v the_o first_o adam_n in_o a_o bodily_a shape_n and_o external_a temptation_n so_o it_o be_v likely_a he_o come_v against_o the_o second_o adam_n in_o some_o bodily_a shape_n and_o that_o he_o thus_o external_o assault_v he_o by_o outward_a object_n be_v probable_a by_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o text_n 1_o he_o speak_v often_o to_o christ_n and_o christ_n true_o speak_v and_o answer_v 2_o he_o say_v command_v these_o stone_n not_o stone_n in_o general_a but_o either_o offering_n holding_z or_o point_v at_o they_o be_v real_a stone_n as_o mr._n calvin_n say_v 3_o he_o will_v christ_n to_o fall_v down_o before_o he_o and_o worship_n he_o even_o by_o bodily_a and_o outward_a gesture_n and_o cit_v scripture_n for_o his_o second_o temptation_n 4_o he_o take_v he_o and_o lead_v he_o to_o the_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n by_o local_a motion_n neither_o be_v the_o second_o temptation_n in_o the_o wilderness_n as_o the_o former_a be_v but_o in_o the_o holy_a city_n jerusalem_n and_o on_o the_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n as_o after_o we_o shall_v see_v 5_o christ_n bid_v he_o depart_v 6_o how_o can_v he_o hurt_v himself_o by_o his_o fall_n if_o it_o be_v only_o in_o vision_n 2_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v imply_v a_o corporal_a access_n by_o which_o these_o temptation_n differ_v from_o the_o former_a wherewith_o he_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o forty_o day_n of_o his_o fast_n for_o they_o be_v light_a skirmish_n and_o lesser_a onset_n by_o suggestion_n send_v out_o like_a scout_n but_o now_o he_o come_v in_o person_n with_o all_o his_o strength_n and_o thus_o he_o now_o come_v and_o not_o before_o 3_o some_o good_a divine_n make_v difference_n between_o christ_n temptation_n and_o his_o member_n which_o give_v good_a light_n in_o this_o question_n that_o whereas_o our_o temptation_n be_v chief_o inward_a
