speak_v last_o namely_o that_o error_n and_o deceivedness_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n be_v a_o very_a devil_n and_o doct._n more_o dangerous_a than_o open_a persecution_n for_o the_o text_n account_v the_o devil_n bind_v when_o he_o be_v tie_v up_o from_o deceive_v though_o he_o be_v at_o liberty_n for_o persecute_v i_o do_v but_o name_v this_o here_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o

a_o mastery_n of_o christ_n over_o the_o devil_n the_o description_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o verse_n a_o description_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o second_o and_o the_o mastery_n of_o christ_n over_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o conjunction_n of_o both_o i_o may_v observe_v many_o thing_n out_o of_o the_o word_n in_o either_o verse_n but_o i_o shall_v only_o take_v up_o that_o which_o both_o the_o verse_n conjoin_v do_v main_o and_o clear_o hold_v out_o unto_o we_o and_o that_o be_v that_o be_v the_o devil_n never_o so_o devilish_a christ_n have_v power_n to_o overpower_v he_o doct._n it_o be_v worth_a your_o observation_n that_o the_o text_n seem_v to_o be_v at_o strife_n with_o itself_o whether_o to_o set_v out_o the_o devil_n in_o his_o devilishness_n or_o christ_n

that_o he_o be_v a_o dragon_n a_o serpent_n a_o old_a serpent_n the_o devil_n satan_n so_o in_o as_o many_o term_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n have_v it_o set_v out_o christ_n power_n and_o victory_n over_o he_o namely_o that_o he_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o bind_v he_o cast_v he_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n shut_v he_o up_o seal_v he_o up_o for_o a_o thousand_o year_n as_o if_o it_o purposely_o intend_v to_o proclaim_v this_o to_o we_o which_o i_o can_v but_o repeat_v again_o that_o be_v the_o devil_n never_o so_o devilish_a christ_n have_v power_n to_o overpower_v he_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v the_o very_a first_o thing_n that_o be_v hold_v out_o in_o the_o world_n after_o sin_n come_v into_o it_o and_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o devil_n have_v show_v his_o devilishness_n in_o the_o overthrow_n of_o adam_n the_o lord_n proclaim_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n to_o conquer_v the_o devil_n and_o that_o before_o ever_o any_o censure_n or_o sentence_n be_v pass_v upon_o

of_o all_o his_o devilishness_n when_o he_o his_o angel_n and_o his_o instrument_n shall_v receive_v this_o sentence_n from_o he_o go_v yet_o curse_v etc._n etc._n and_o as_o for_o the_o space_n betwixt_o these_o two_o period_n or_o from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n of_o it_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o full_a of_o testimony_n and_o the_o world_n so_o full_a of_o

confine_v my_o discourse_n upon_o this_o subject_n unto_o these_o particular_n namely_o to_o show_v you_o how_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n meet_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o master_v he_o first_o in_o the_o utmost_a evilness_n of_o his_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v a_o serpent_n second_o in_o the_o utmost_a vigour_n of_o his_o power_n as_o he_o be_v a_o dragon_n the_o great_a of_o serpent_n three_o in_o the_o utmost_a practice_n of_o his_o subtlety_n for_o he_o be_v a_o old_a serpent_n and_o fourthly_a in_o the_o utmost_a exercise_n of_o his_o malice_n for_o he_o be_v a_o devil_n and_o last_o in_o the_o utmost_a violence_n of_o his_o cruelty_n for_o he_o be_v satan_n the_o utmost_a of_o any_o of_o these_o the_o utmost_a of_o all_o these_o either_o in_o himself_o or_o in_o his_o instrument_n or_o member_n all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n all_o the_o wicked_a on_o earth_n christ_n be_v too_o big_a for_o they_o he_o can_v he_o do_v master_n quell_v and_o conquer_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v
never_o turn_v again_o from_o god_n to_o delight_v in_o sin_n then_o certain_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o behold_v the_o devil_n in_o his_o colour_n and_o complexion_n will_v so_o fill_v the_o will_n with_o the_o abhor_v and_o detestation_n of_o he_o that_o it_o will_v not_o ready_o turn_v again_o to_o the_o devil_n to_o forsake_v god_n and_o therefore_o if_o i_o be_v to_o make_v a_o threefold_a wish_n as_o austen_n once_o do_v i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o wish_v for_o to_o more_o profit_n and_o advantage_n then_o to_o know_v god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o devil_n as_o he_o be_v and_o ourselves_o what_o we_o be_v but_o to_o pursue_v what_o we_o be_v about_o as_o you_o have_v see_v the_o evilness_n of_o the_o devil_n nature_n especial_o in_o these_o two_o particular_n in_o the_o incorrigible_a frowardness_n of_o his_o will_n and_o the_o irrecoverable_a cursedness_n of_o his_o condition_n so_o now_o look_v how_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n meet_v with_o he_o and_o over_o power_n he_o for_o all_o this_o his_o crooked_a and_o curse_a disposition_n and_o this_o be_v considerable_a also_o in_o two_o particular_n first_o in_o that_o though_o the_o will_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v thus_o desperate_o and_o precipitately_o bend_v upon_o evil_a yet_o christ_n do_v so_o overpower_v he_o as_o that_o he_o produce_v good_a out_o of_o the_o devil_n action_n to_o his_o own_o people_n can_v any_o good_a thing_n come_v out_o of_o nazareth_n much_o more_o can_v any_o good_a thing_n from_o the_o devil_n can_v any_o bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a not_o one_o but_o one_o he_o that_o bring_v light_a out_o of_o darkness_n at_o the_o beginning_n fire_n out_o of_o water_n at_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o elias_n sight_n out_o of_o blind_a eye_n stop_v up_o with_o clay_n the_o same_o can_v bring_v good_a out_o of_o evil_a good_a to_o his_o people_n even_o out_o of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o devil_n by_o that_o mighty_a work_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o subdue_v all_o thing_n even_o the_o devil_n to_o himself_o i_o may_v be_v copious_a in_o show_v what_o good_a the_o lord_n produce_v out_o of_o the_o devil_n temptation_n practise_v by_o himself_o what_o

out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o carrion_n raven_n i_o may_v show_v you_o how_o adam_n have_v a_o better_a condition_n job_n a_o better_a estate_n joshua_n the_o high_a priest_n better_o clothes_v

good_a to_o this_o poor_a kingdom_n out_o of_o this_o his_o evil_n for_o first_o how_o many_o rot_a heart_n and_o how_o many_o rot_a member_n have_v the_o devil_n or_o god_n rather_o out_o of_o the_o
