under_o his_o dominion_n and_o tyranny_n but_o as_o to_o more_o ordinary_a case_n we_o may_v further_o consider_v 2._o that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o constant_a enemy_n to_o mankind_n apt_a and_o incline_v as_o far_o as_o god_n permit_v he_o to_o do_v man_n all_o the_o mischief_n he_o can_v 3._o that_o as_o he_o first_o introduce_v sin_n into_o the_o world_n so_o he_o have_v by_o consequence_n all_o the_o calamity_n that_o afflict_v it_o there_o have_v be_v no_o death_n sickness_n or_o distemper_n upon_o the_o body_n of_o man_n but_o from_o hence_o consider_v the_o devil_n therefore_o as_o
