You shall not think that it is an […] to be tempted, […] into temptations. No, for it is a good thing, and scripture commendeth it, and we shall be rewarded for it. For S,1 James […], Beatus […] suffert […], Blessed […] that man that suffereth temptations, patiently. Blessed is he that suffereth, not he that […], not he that is led by them, and followeth the motions thereof. The devil moveth me to do this thing and that, which is against god, to commit […] dome, or lechery, or such like things. Now this is a good thing: for if I withstand his motions, and more regard god than his suggestions, happy am I, & I shall be rewarded for it in heaven. Some think that […] Paul would have […] without such temptations, but GOD would not grant his requeste. […] tibi gratia mea, Paule, […] content Paul to have my favour. For temptations be a declaration of gods favour and might: for though we be most weak and feeble,2 yet thorough our weakness GOD vanquisheth the great strength and might of the devil. And afterward he promiseth us that we shall have Coronam vitae, the crown of life, that is to say we shall be rewarded in everlasting life. To whom did GOD promise […], ever lasting life? Marry diligentibus see, sayeth […] James, unto3 them that love him, not unto them that love the selves & follow their own affections, […] see, it is an Amphibologia ⟨image 61⟩and therefore Erasmus turneth it into latin with such words,4 A quibus dilectus est Deus, non diligentibus se, Not they that love them selves, but they of whom god is beloved: for self love is the root of all mischief and wickedness.
You shall not thinke that it is an 〈…〉 to be tempted, 〈…〉 into temptations. No, for it is a good thing, and scripture commendeth it, and we shalbe rewarded for it. For S,1 Iames 〈…〉, Beatus suffert , Blessed that man that suffreth temptations, paciently. Blessed is he that suffreth, not he that , not he that is led by thē, and foloweth the motions therof. The deuill moueth me to do this thing and that, which is against god, to cōmit dome, or lecherye, or such lyke thynges. Now this is a good thing: for yf I withstand his motions, and more regard god thā his suggestions, happy am I, & I shalbe rewarded for it in heauen. Some thinke that Paule wold haue without suche temptations, but GOD would not graunte his requeste. tibi gratia mea, Paule, content Paule to haue my fauour. For temptations be a declaratiō of gods fauour and myghte: for though we be moste weake and feable,
