Note, 1. God may give Satan power, even to carry our bodies about, and yet not overcome our Souls. 2. The Devil would tempt us to think that we may do any thing that hath no danger to us, tho it be out of the way of our Obedience. 3. He that will have Gods protection must keep in the way of his duty to God, and not presume that God shall save him out of his way in our own.
7. Jesus saith to him, it is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
7. Jesus saith to him, it is writt•n again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
7. Note, 1. Tho the Devil use Scripture for temptation, this is no dishonour to Scripture; but we must confute misapplication of Scripture, by Scripture rightly expounded and applied. Papists and all heretics, and the Devil himself may use Scripture (and therefore all must not be believed that use it.) But that is an honour to it, signifying that it is Gods word, or else it would not serve the Hypocrites turn. As all contenders pretend to Reason, and yet Reason must decide their controversies.
