by_o man_n from_o a_o outward_a calamity_n i_o do_v not_o bring_v this_o only_a to_o compare_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o our_o outward_a deliverance_n to_o his_o work_n in_o our_o spiritual_a but_o i_o bring_v it_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n by_o his_o come_n have_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o god_n destroy_v the_o divice_n of_o these_o enemy_n in_o that_o exploit_n which_o

to_o you_o by_o these_o follow_a consideration_n first_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v prove_v it_o by_o these_o argument_n first_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o spiritual_o subject_a and_o obedient_a unto_o the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o his_o name_n for_o a_o person_n obedience_n to_o god_n commandment_n be_v that_o by_o which_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v glorify_v and_o exalt_v but_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o spiritual_o subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o his_o name_n second_o that_o spirit_n that_o will_v exalt_v himself_o so_o as_o that_o by_o his_o invention_n he_o will_v be_v equal_a with_o god_n that_o spirit_n in_o so_o do_v be_v a_o

devil_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n three_o that_o spirit_n that_o do_v endeavour_n to_o destroy_v all_o the_o decree_n and_o work_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o redemption_n and_o

and_o make_v void_a all_o the_o decree_n and_o work_v of_o god_n concern_v the_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o name_n of_o

of_o the_o devil_n be_v in_o a_o unexpressable_a measure_n contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o devil_n can_v be_v any_o other_o than_o a_o enemy_n to_o god_n the_o scripture_n

consequent_o contrary_a to_o it_o but_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o the_o light_n nor_o be_v not_o in_o this_o respect_n in_o the_o light_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o it_o
