Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 4:11

11 Then the Devil leaveth him, and behold Angels came and ministred unto him.

Resist the Devil saith Iames ch. 4.7. and he shall flee from you, thus he did from the Head, thus he shall do from the Members, but as he did not [illegible: 1 letter]ee from Christ, till Commanded away, so neither till Commanded o[illegible: 2 letters] by God, doth he leave the People of God, but upon our resistance, God will Command him off, that we may not be Tempted above our strength. The Evil Angels leaving him, the Good Angels came and ministred unto him, whether by bringing him Food, or bringing him off the Mount, or otherwise Executing his Commands, is not expressed, and it is too much Curiosity to inquire. God by this teacheth us, that our Lives are to have their Vici[illegible: 1 letter]situdes of Temptations, and Consolations, and that our Temptations shall have an happy [illegible: 1 word], and that when ordinary means fail, we may expect extraordinary Influences, and Assistances. Luke saith, he departed from him for a Season: To let us know, that tho here was an end of his more eminent Temptations, yet he was not afterward without Satans Assaults.
