Secondly, by this answer of Christ, saying, It is written, we learn how to behave our selves when any shall seek to turn us from true Religion, to embrace false Religion, though we cannot answer their arguments, but they set such a colour on them by their wit and eloquence, and seem to dazzle our eyes that we can not see their deceits; yet we must stick to the scriptures, and clea•• fast to the text of the Bible: and if we find but one sentence in all the Bible to persuade us of the truth of Religion, we must hang upon it with both hands, and let not o• hold go; nay it must be of more force & credit with us, then a thousand arguments that tend to the contrary.

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God only,] In these words is contained the answer of our saviour Christ to the third temptation of the Devil. The words are taken out of Deut. 6▪ 13. where they are read thus, Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him. Now there may seem to be some difference in the words, as they be alleged by Christ: for in that place of Deuteronomy it is said, Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: our saviour Christ saith, Thou shalt worship. Again, our saviour Christ adds a word, which is not added by Moses in that place, namely, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God only: this word only is not in that text of Moses.
