For II thou be the Son Of God thou cans't,
Command these stones and they be turned

But Jesus said. IT'S not by bread alone.
But by the word of God that we are fed
Then to tho Holy City satan led our Lord,
Until they reached the highest pinnacle.
Then satan said unto Him, cast thyselt
from this.
For il thou be tho Son Of God. thou'it
fear no IN.
For TO Gods angels ITo has given charge.
Lest thou should dash thy foot against
a stone,
But if thou1t follow me I'll give TO thee
The kingdoms OF this world to call thine
own
But Jesus said unto him get thee hence
For 1 will never in temptation fall,
II poverty and hunger be my lot.
I'll gladly for His sake endure them all.
Then satan hafned left Him all alone,
But angels came and ministered to Him,
The tempters power was in the dust laid
low
And glory seemed TO all around Him
beam
So If the blessed Dord was tempted So
We each and all VIII meet it every day.
For can His servants better be than He.
Or hope TO meet no thorns along the way
But IL we walk close to His bleeding side.
And keep tight hold upon His nai-torn
