The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

When God was about to call up Moses to deliver Israel out of Egypt, to change the Church polity, to be Gods Instrument to create new heavens, and a new Earth, to erect the Church and common wealth of Israel, glorious services, we see that God prepared him for all this by great Temptations and Trials. When God was about to call up David to make great Reformation in the Church of Israel to gather up and settle all the scattered parts of Gods instituted worship, and fix it in a Temple, and to erect a typical Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and to fix the line of the Incarnation of the promised seed, all of them very great and eminent services, with sundry more that I name not, only include them in these generals, I say when God was about to call up David to these great services, O what a storm of Temptations did he arise through!

When Solomon was called to finish what his Father David had begun in building the Temple and setting in order the fixed national worship of God; We read little of his passing through Temptations to humble and prepare him: But we read much of his sensuality, whereby he so stained the glory of his high services, that it should raise thankfulness to God that pleaseth to call us up to services of renown, through a field of very great Temptations.
