1. Being led by the Spirit into the wilderness he there continued forty days fasting and was thereupon an hungered, Matth. 4. 1, 2. Hunger is a suffering: so also is wearisomeness, and other like infirmities, under which Christ suffered. 2. Satan in tempting him hurried him from the wilderness to a pinnacle of the Temple▪ from thence into an exceeding high mountain, Matth. 4. 5, 8. This must also needs be a suffering, besides Satan's temptations so troubled him as they forced him to say, Get thee hence Satan▪ Matth. 4. 10. 3. The temptations of the Pharisees and others like to them, made him angry; and they grieved him, Mark 3. 5. 4. Peters tempting him made him say unto him, Get thee behind me Satan, thou art an offence unto me, Matth. 16. 23. 5. All his sufferings in his body were effects of his adversaries tempting him. Of those sufferings See §. 96. 6. His greatest sufferings were upon his Fathers tempting, proving and trying him▪ These made him complain and say, Now is my soul troubled, &c. Joh. 12. 27. ⟨p. 254⟩And again, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: and thus to […], Oh my Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me, Matth. 26. 38, 39. These cast […] into an agony, and made his sweat as it were great drops of blood fall down to the ground, Luk. 22 44. These made him cry out upon the Cross, My God, my God, Why hast thou forsaken me? Matth. 27. 46. These made him offer up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears,
