The harmony of the Old and New Testament and the obscure texts explained with a relation especially to the times that preceded Christ and how they meet in him, his genealogie and other mysteries preparatory to his first coming / written in French by John d'Espagne ... ; and published in English by his executor.

Satan took up Christ and set him on the Pinacle of the Temple, and on a high Moun∣tain; but we read not, that ever any good Angel trans∣ported Christ from one place to another.

THe Tempter alleaged to him the words of the Psalm, The Angels in their hands shall bear thee up; yet we read not that ever this happened, neither when it was needful to carry Christ from Judea into Egypt; nor when he was weary of walking, nor when he was upon the pre∣cipices of the Mountain, nor in any other occasion, where it might seem, that the hand of the Angels would have come sea∣sonably to his help: Other services they have administred to him, even presently after his Temptation in the Wilderness, doubtless to afford him some food, which otherwise he could not have come by, in a barren place, and not inhabited. There∣fore, for want of ordinary means, the An∣gels administred unto him then: But they did not carry him out of the Wilderness, either because there were ways and passa∣ges

whereby he might come out of it; or, which is of a higher consideration, and ex∣presly in the History, because the same Divine Power that led him up into the Wilderness, brought him likewise out of it, without any need of being carried by the Angels, who are but Servants, Luk. 4.14.
