A86948	A wonder and yet no wonder a great red dragon in heaven.	Hyde, Edward, 1607-1659.	1650 (1650)	Wing H3869; Thomason E1361_2; ESTC R209183	27,059	66

the world are but one mans wife in unity and all the men in the world are but one womans husband in unity so that one man may lie with all the women in the world for they are his wife in unity and one woman may lie with all men in the world for they are her husband in unity That there is no act that is sinful before God That the holy Spirit is not God That Jesus Christ hath no other then a humane nature These and many others are the Principles that the great red Dragon with his Tail windes into Professors thereby to cast them out of Heaven into Earth And therefore Friends take heed of him he is very subtle his Tail is full of windings and turnings if it were possible he would deceive the very Elect If you be Professors in shew and not in deed he will drag you down from Heaven into Earth that is he will drag you down from your glorious profession into Earth that is into such an estate of earthly-mindedness and wickedness that all that see you and behold you shall say of you as it shall be said of Babylon when she is destroyed Alas alas that great City that was clothed with fine linnen and purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls for in one hour so great riches is come to nought Revel. 18. 16 17. So shall they say of you O glorious Professors that have been as stars shining in Heaven clothed with fine linnen purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls which are nothing but the parts and gifts and righteousness of men Alas alas those glorious Professors for in one hour as it were are they come to nought So that you see how the Dragon draws Professors out of Heaven into Earth by winding with his Tail false and unsound principles into them Quest But may some say You hold a falling away from grace do you not Answ. No but I hold a falling away which is now fulfilled before the day of Christ come spoken of in 2 Thes. 2. 3. And besides I hold a falling away from the end of the Commandment which is Charity out of a pure heart and a good Conscience and of faith unfeigned from which some having swerved have turned aside to vain jangling which was Hymeneus and Alexander 1 Tim. 1. 5 6 20. And also a falling away from the heavenly gifts of those that are inlightened and are made partakers of the Holy Ghost and have tasted the good Word of God and of the powers of the world to come Hebr. 6. 4 5. If Professors have reached no further then Charity though it be out of a pure heart and of a good Conscience and of Faith unfeigned and no further then a being enlightened and a tasting of the heavenly gifts and a being made partakers of the Holy Ghost and a tasting of the good Word of God and of the powers of the World to come they are liable to be by the Tail of this great red Dragon drawn out of Heaven that is drawn from these into Earth so that they will become earthly filthy vain and the like The third Basis or Thesis upon which I shall build my Discourse is this That there is multiplicity of subtilty strength and glory in the great red Dragon to deceive accuse set upon tempt and destroy This is clear from the words and it will appear to be so from other places of Scripture see Gen. 3. 1. Now the Serpent was more subtle then any beast of the field which the Lord God had made That sheweth that there is a multiplicity of subtilty in him We wrestle not only with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers Ephes. ult. Chap. That place of Scripture sheweth that there is a multiplicity of power in him If thou wilt fall down and worship me saith the Serpent to Christ I will give you all the glory of the world That speaks a multiplicity of glory in the Dragon We shall a little hold forth his subtilty power and glory First we shall speak of his subtilty see Job 1. 6. When the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord Satan he came among them See his subtilty in it under pretence in coming to pray with the sons of God he came to accuse and set upon Job as you shall see by and by And the Lord said unto him From whence comest thou Then Satan answered the Lord From going to and fro in the Earth and from walking up and down in it See his subtilty here in leaving out like a roaring Lyon seeking whom he may devour And the Lord said unto Satan Hast thou considered or hast thou set thy heart on my servant Job that there is none like him in the Earth a perfect and upright man one that feareth God and escheweth evil Then answered Satan the Lord and said Doth Job fear God for nought Hast thou not made a bedg about him and about his house and about all that he hath on every side Behold his subtilty again in accusing Job As if Satan should have said Thou hast made a fence against all that he hath and he serves thee for that it is not for nought that he serves thee thou hast encreased his substance and blessed the work of his hand and he serves thee for that but put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath and he will fall acursing of thee and that to thy face And the Lord said unto him Behold all that he hath is in thy power only upon himself put not forth thy hand So Satan goes forth from the presence of the Lord After he had Gods Job away he went it was for Job that Satan presented himself before the Lord Now in Cap. 2. they came the second time to present themselves before the Lord and Satan came with them And the Lord said unto him from whence comest thou And Satan gave him the like answer as before And the Lord said unto him Hast thou consider'd my servant Job a perfect upright man that feareth God and escheweth evil and still he holdeth fast his integrity although thou movedst me against him to destroy him without cause The subtilty of the Serpent in presenting himself before the Lord was not only to accuse Job but likewise to move God against Job for to destroy him without cause And Satan answered the Lord Skin for skin yea all that a man hath will he give for his life But put forth thy hand now and touch his bone and flesh and he will curse thee to thy face See how he further accuseth Job before God that so God might destroy him or that he might have him to destroy As if Satan should have said to the Lord thus All that a man hath before he will lose his life he will part with all yea skin for skin but do but touch his bone and flesh and he will fall acursing of thee
