Our great Pattern hath showed us what our deportment ought to be in all suggestions and temptations. When the devil showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, to tempt Him withal, He did not stand and look upon them, viewing their glory, and pondering their empire.... but instantly, without stay, He cries, Get thee hence, Satan. Meet thy temptation in its entrance with thoughts of faith concerning Christ on the cross; this will make it sink before thee. Entertain no parley, no dispute with it, if thou wouldst not enter into it.
