day by day] Heb. day day. That is, daily: the word doubled imports continuance of time without intermission; so also Exodus 16:5. Or omission, Leviticus 6:12. Deuteronomy 14:22. Or progresse in place without diversion or digression, Deuteronomy 2:27. We see here how sinne abounded in the tempter, and in the tempted how grace abounded much more, with whom such uncessant solicitations could not prevaile; which should be remembred as a patterne of perseverance in the resistance of sinne.
or to be with her] Occasions of evill, 1 Timothy 5:14. yea and the appearances of it also, 1 Thessalonians 5:22. are to be avoided, as well as the evill it selfe: The societie then of the wicked is to be shunned, Proverbs 1:15. especially of such as are tempters to sinne, Proverbs 5:8.
