Chapter 2 › Section 182: §. 182. Of Christs suffering being tempted.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The Proposition is set down in this verse, thus, He that suffered being tempted, is able to succour them that are tempted.
The Assumption may be raised out of the former verse thus, But Christ being in all things made like unto his brethren, suffered, being tempted.
Therefore Christ in all things being like his brethren was able to succour them that are tempted.
This phrase, bIn that, hath especial reference to this word, suffered. It was not simply this that he was tempted, that made him able to succour: for God himself may be tempted, Numb. 14. 22. And man may be so tempted as to be very little or nothing at all moved therewith. But such temptations as make one suffer▪ do so work on him, as he is thereby put on to pity others that are so tempted: and to succour them in what he can.
