2. In Times of Temptation. When ⟨p. 286⟩a poor soul hath been long buffeted with Satan, and Held down with his bloody Carnal reasonings. When the Soul hath been long on the stormy troublesome sea of temptations: And CHRIST shall at last appear Conquering the strong-man, Rebuking the storm, overcoming Satan: Oh! who can express how welcome such a sight of CHRIST: Such an Appearance of CHRIST is to the Soul! This is a Resurrection from the dead, you have it typified in Abraham who after the battle with the four Kings, Melchizedek comes to meet him with Bread and wine, strength and comfort, which shows us, that our Melchizedek after all our spiritual battles are over will meet us with the choicest of his comforts. This is that he promiseth, Rev. 2.17. To him that overcometh I will give the hidden Manna and the white Stone and a name in it which no man knoweth but he that hath it. As after Christs temptations were over, the Angels came to minister to him, so will Christ after all our conflicts, meet us with refreshments, and proportion our Comforts to our Conflicts.
