his_o person_n for_o the_o devil_n by_o his_o person_n be_v a_o angel_n and_o therefore_o by_o nature_n indestructible_a incorruptible_a and_o immortal_a but_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n destroy_v the_o devil_n for_o his_o power_n he_o abolish_v and_o abrogate_v the_o kingdom_n and_o power_n that_o satan_n have_v in_o the_o world_n particular_o his_o power_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o he_o

12.31,33_o and_o col._n 2.15_o now_o the_o reason_n why_o christ_n destroy_v the_o deadly_a power_n of_o satan_n by_o his_o death_n be_v because_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v obtain_v the_o

who_o stand_v in_o actual_a fear_n but_o who_o be_v liable_a to_o fear_v or_o by_o right_a aught_o to_o fear_v hence_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o all_o they_o who_o fear_v death_n have_v no_o

may_v just_o fear_v it_o from_o this_o slavish_a fear_n of_o death_n christ_n have_v deliver_v man_n by_o his_o death_n while_o by_o his_o death_n he_o not_o only_o pass_v to_o a_o immortal_a life_n but_o also_o obtain_v power_n to_o repress_v and_o destroy_v the_o power_n of_o satan_n hence_o christ_n say_v to_o john_n fear_v not_o i_o be_o the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o i_o be_o he_o that_o
