So it is said Emphatically of him; Heb. 2. 13. In that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. It is true, there is something in all our temptations more then was in the temptation of Christ. There is something in our selves to take part with every temptation; & there is enough in our selves to utempt us, though nothing else should appear against us. With Christ it was not so, Joh. 14. 30. but this is so far from taking off his compassion towards us, that on all accounts whatever it doth increase it; for if he will give us succour because we are tempted, the so•er our temptations are, the more ready will he be to succour us. Take some instances, of Christs giving [Greek or Hebrew], seasonable help in, and under Temptations unto sin; now this he doth several ways.
