HEre is Christs Answer to the second Temptation; where two things are Observable. First, That Christ Answered. Secondly, What he Answered.

First, That Christ Answered. Christ answered, the more to convince and confound this old Deceiver, that he might not think that he was ignorant of his sleights, or that he fainted in the conflict; as also to instruct us, what to do in the renewed Assaults of the Devil, to keep up our resistance ⟨p. 82⟩still, not letting go our sure hold, which are the Scriptures.

Secondly, What he Answered; It is written, &c. But would it not have been more satisfactory to have said, It is sufficiently manifest to me, that I am the Son of God, and cared for by him, and that it is not for the children of God to run upon Precipices?
