2. The Devil will be assaulting you with new temptations, to […] you unto sin, after you have been at the Table of the Lord. If God ha•h spoken peace unto your Conscience, the Devil will be endeavouring to break your peace; If you have got a pardon of your old sins, he will be tempting you again to the commission of new; and the greater discoveries you hav• had of God, when you were there, the greater will his temptations be to draw you into sin, when you come from thence. When Christ was Baptized, and God had owned him, by a voice from Heaven, then he was tempted by the Devil, Mat. 3.17. & 4 1. And if the Devil will be diligent to tempt you after such a Duty, should not you be diligent to resist him? Or, if you be not, is it not likely you will do something that will be unbecoming ⟨p. 153⟩•ne that hath been at this Ordinance? […] your self be Judge.
