we_o must_v first_o mark_v the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o devil_n therein_o in_o the_o first_o temptation_n he_o labour_v to_o tempt_v christ_n to_o distrust_v and_o unbelief_n in_o the_o second_o to_o puff_n he_o up_o with_o vain_a confidence_n and_o presumption_n now_o in_o this_o three_o he_o tempt_v christ_n to_o commit_v idolatry_n even_o to_o worship_v the_o devil_n and_o true_o this_o have_v ever_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o seek_v to_o overturn_v religion_n and_o good_a conscience_n by_o these_o three_o thing_n honour_n profit_n and_o pleasure_n among_o protestant_n and_o protestant_n minister_n he_o have_v prevail_v much_o by_o these_o mean_n when_o as_o for_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n many_o have_v in_o hope_n of_o profit_n and_o

merchant_n for_o hope_n of_o gain_n do_v carry_v over_o to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n all_o such_o merchandise_n of_o wax_n etc._n etc._n as_o the_o papist_n use_v to_o maintain_v their_o

now_o protestant_n like_v to_o chameleon_n into_o any_o colour_n of_o this_o we_o have_v experience_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n few_o great_a man_n remain_v protestant_n but_o yee_v to_o the_o idolatry_n of_o those_o time_n this_o three_o temptation_n have_v two_o part_n first_o a_o promise_n second_o a_o condition_n and_o here_o the_o devil_n say_v not_o i_o will_v procure_v thou_o these_o

boldness_n who_o dare_v offer_n christ_n the_o gift_n of_o all_o these_o conditional_o if_o he_o will_v worship_v he_o whereas_o indeed_o they_o do_v all_o most_o proper_o belong_v to_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o and_o be_v his_o own_o neither_o have_v satan_n any_o title_n to_o they_o but_o only_o by_o usurpation_n and_o as_o the_o devil_n here_o with_o christ_n so_o he_o deal_v with_o most_o man_n of_o the_o world_n to_o tempt_v they_o to_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o make_v the_o devil_n their_o god_n for_o though_o man_n deny_v this_o in_o word_n and_o say_v all_z they_o have_v god_n have_v send_v it_o they_o thank_v god_n yet_o their_o wicked_a practice_n show_v the_o contrary_a that_o they_o do_v indeed_o depend_v upon_o the_o devil_n for_o gain_v and_o profit_n see_v most_o man_n get_v their_o good_n by_o false_a waight●_n and_o measure_n by_o deceit_n fraud_n cousinage_n by_o lie_v swear_v &_o forswear_v now_o while_o they_o get_v that_o they_o have_v thus_o by_o such_o vile_a and_o wicked_a mean_n it_o plain_o show_v that_o all_o they_o have_v they_o have_v it_o of_o the_o devil_n &_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o wealth_n &_o so_o make_v he_o their_o god_n though_o in_o word_n they_o deny_v it_o never_o so_o much_o second_o the_o devil_n know_v christ_n be_v a_o king_n and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o spiritual_a exercise_v especial_o in_o man_n conscience_n now_o the_o devil_n he_o labour_v to_o tempt_v christ_n to_o become_v a_o earthly_a king_n which_o if_o it_o have_v take_v place_n in_o christ_n he_o know_v then_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v that_o true_a messiah_n who_o shall_v reign_v spriritual_o in_o man_n conscience_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n deal_v the_o

the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o in_o the_o carnal_a wisdom_n of_o man_n eloquence_n and_o so_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o overturn_v the_o true_a kingdom_n of_o christ._n three_o we_o see_v here_o how_o the_o devil_n make_v very_o large_a and_o liberal_a promise_n though_o he_o mean_v to_o perform_v nothing_o neither_o can_v he_o though_o he_o will_v this_o must_v teach_v we_o to_o study_v that_o we_o may_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o do_v wary_o consider_v what_o promise_v we_o make_v whether_o the_o thing_n we_o promise_v be_v lawful_a and_o in_o

and_o in_o that_o the_o devil_n show_v all_o these_o unto_o christ_n
even_o the_o several_a kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v manifest_a he_o know_v they_o all_o and_o be_v well_o acquaint_v and_o have_v travel_v through_o they_o as_o he_o confess_v joh._n 1._o

will_v set_v his_o heart_n on_o they_o and_o so_o desir●●_n they_o and_o herein_o note_v one_o of_o his_o most_o principal_a practice_n which_o be_v the_o overturning_a 〈◊〉_d kingdom_n for_o the_o

seek_v continual_o to_o puff_n man_n up_o with_o ambition_n that_o they_o may_v desire_v and_o gape_v for_o preferment_n and_o honour_n the_o lord_n have_v in_o mercy_n place_v over_o we_o in_o this_o
