will_v endeavour_v to_o ensnare_v the_o saint_n and_o manifest_v his_o rage_n against_o they_o first_o this_o will_v appear_v by_o what_o be_v write_v in_o this_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o saint_n peter_n where_o the_o apostle_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o next_o appear_v of_o christ_n and_o rage_n of_o satan_n do_v admonish_v the_o elect_n both_o the_o shepherd_n and_o the_o sheep_n to_o circumspection_n and_o diligence_n second_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n will_v appear_v from_o that_o which_o we_o find_v write_v by_o saint_n john_n the_o devil_n be_v come_v down_o unto_o you_o and_o have_v great_a wrath_n know_v that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n rev._n 12.12_o for_o by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n who_o overcome_v satan_n satan_n the_o accuser_n of_o the_o brethren_n who_o be_v by_o he_o tempt_v unto_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o accuse_v thereof_o be_v cast_v down_o v._n 10._o and_o his_o wrath_n do_v increase_v because_o he_o know_v his_o time_n be_v but_o short_a but_o short_a in_o the_o account_n of_o god_n and_o in_o comparison_n of_o that_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n which_o shall_v be_v give_v unto_o those_o who_o overcome_v his_o temptation_n and_o if_o his_o rage_n will_v increase_v as_o his_o time_n will_v decrease_v then_o the_o elect_n who_o live_v in_o the_o last_o day_n must_v expect_v to_o be_v

confess_v that_o satan_n do_v not_o at_o this_o time_n move_v such_o heavy_a persecution_n against_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o he_o do_v in_o former_a age_n yet_o he_o have_v in_o these_o day_n put_v on_o more_o angelical_a form_n and_o shape_n to_o deceive_v then_o in_o any_o former_a time_n these_o thing_n be_v consider_v i_o will_v by_o the_o lord_n assistance_n declare_v 1._o two_o snare_n which_o satan_n do_v lay_v in_o these_o time_n to_o entrap_v deceive_v and_o delude_v the_o saint_n 2._o many_o cunning_a wait_v by_o which_o he_o do_v attempt_v this_o worke._n 3._o the_o end_n that_o satan_n aim_v at_o the_o advantage_n he_o get_v and_o the_o inconvenience_n the_o saint_n run_v into_o when_o they_o be_v deceive_v and_o 4._o the_o remedy_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v
