22. Promises f•r help against Temptations, to believers.
1 Cor. 10.13. before cited, 2 Pet. 2.9. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations.
Compare Matth. 4. where Christ was tempted even to worship the Devil, &c. with Heb. 4.15. & 2.18. For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are, without sin—Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest, in things God-ward for us— For in that he himself hath suffered b•ing tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
