the_o plot_n of_o the_o devil_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o all_o his_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n concern_v the_o total_a overthrow_n of_o zion_n be_v draw_v up_o to_o one_o head_n the_o devil_n

the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n by_o his_o come_n when_o the_o devil_n be_v in_o the_o prime_n of_o his_o strength_n when_o he_o have_v get_v almost_o to_o the_o top_n of_o all_o his_o

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

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 salvation_n of_o man_n which_o be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n that_o spirit_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o his_o name_n but_o the_o devil_n have_v and_o still_o do_v endeavour_n to_o annihilate_v 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 god_n last_o of_o all_o that_o spirit_n who_o nature_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o person_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n but_o the_o nature_n 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 second_o that_o which_o any_o person_n seek_v continual_o to_o destroy_v and_o devour_v that_o he_o can_v at_o that_o time_n countenance_n and_o be_v a_o friend_n too_o but_o the_o continual_a

joy_n of_o the_o devil_n if_o he_o have_v any_o be_v that_o he_o by_o his_o might_n and_o power_n be_v premit_v can_v deface_v the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o hinder_v the_o working_n of_o the_o

nor_o ever_o be_v unite_v or_o reconcile_v to_o god_n this_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o divinity_n that_o a_o true_a and_o real_a desire_n of_o grace_n be_v grace_n the_o devil_n can_v have_v a_o
