Sixthly, It may be thou hast presumed too far, and stood too much in thine own strength, and therefore is a time of Temptation come upon thee. This was also one cause, why it came upon Peter. Though all men forsake thee, yet will not I. Ah! that's the way to be tempted indeed, Joh. 13. 36, 37, 38.
Seventhly, It may be, God intends to make thee wise, to speak a word in season, to others that are afflicted; and therefore he suffereth thee to be Tempted. Christ was tempted, that he might be able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 2. 18.
Eighthly, It may be Satan hath dared God, to suffer him to tempt thee; promising, that if he will but let him do it, thou wilt curse him to his face. Thus he obtained leave against Job; wherefore take heed, tempted soul, lest thou provest the devils sayings true. Job 1. chap. 2.
