In-Text How sweet soever the Gifts of Satan may seem to be at the beginning, yet their end and designment is still as bitter as Destruction. When he carried up our Saviour unto a Pinnacle of the Temple, (an high Preferment,) v. 5. it was to this end, that he might cast himself headlong, ( v. 6.) When he took him up again unto a very high Mountain, ( v. 8.) it was to this end, that he might presently fall down, ( v. 9.) Just as when an Eagle has found an Oyster, he takes it up into the Clouds, that he may give it by so much the greater fall, and that by breaking the Shell, he may eat the Fish. In a word, we may resemble the Gifts of Satan, to the monstrous Locusts from out the bottomless Pit; which though they had on their Heads (as it were) Crowns of Gold, and Faces like those of Men, and goodly Hair like that of Women, yet their Teeth all the while were as the Teeth of Lyons, and the Stings in their Tails like those of Scorpions.
