A34984 An alarum sounded in the borders of spiritual Egypt vvhich shall be heard in Babylon, and astonish the inhabitants of the defiled and polluted habitations of the earth. And the power of the Prince of Darkness called into question; and he himself examin'd by the truth, how he came to raign over mankind; and how long his time shall be, till he comes to be cast out of his dominion, and the creature be deliver'd from under his tyranny; to serve God in spirit and in truth, as Christ, the prince of peace, has order'd them. Also the number of him whom the world hath wonder'd after, found out; and demonstrated to be near at an end: and withal, that it is no wayes unlawful, nor in vain, both to hope, and to expect the utter desolation, and destruction of sin in this life, and the setting up of perfect righteousness in the souls of men, where sin has too long raign'd. Written in a testimony to the truth, and against the false position of the devil, and his servants; by a servant of God, Steven Crisp. Crisp, Stephen, 1628-1692. 1671 (1671) Wing C6922; ESTC R215182 35,940 50

with_o god_n except_o to_o lie_v and_o as_o concern_v this_o it_o be_v not_o only_o possible_a but_o the_o contrary_n be_v impossible_a because_o god_n have_v so_o often_o promise_v it_o to_o make_v

as_o if_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o strong_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o his_o good_n either_o to_o keep_v his_o people_n humble_a thereby_o but_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o
