The Middle English quotation is from {{RQ:Wycliffe Bible|IV|James|I|13|column=1|page=596}}, i.e. here. The Middle English Dictionary has two quotations, both translations of James 1:13. The Greek word this translates is ἀπείραστος (apeírastos), and both KJV and NIV translate this part of the verse along the lines of "one who is unable to be tempted" rather than "one who does not tempt". (But the verse does apply both notions to God, and it's possible it was a minor mix-up.)
