The Abuse of Scripture
Luke 4:9-13
And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.…


That the abuse of the Scriptures must not take away the use of it. Christ doth not give over alleging Scripture because the devil abused it. The honest traveller doth so much the more wear his weapon and his sword because the thief useth the same weapon.

(D. Dyke.)
