conversation that the ayrie power nor Satans cannot act in him 8. The Starres and the powers of the ayre are in themselves good and doe not stirre up to warre lust or other evill but as they meet with corruptions in mixt bodyes and as they are directed by Satan managed to further his designs in the world on all occasions which is unpossible for man to know but by Satan 9. And the reason is because Satan as he is a power himselfe and the chiefe of the powers of the ayre by his power he doth direct over-rule the other naturall powers to serve his temptation as every occasion requires and as every individual natural person is to be wrought upon 10. Christ prayed the Father to keepe those are his Joh. 17.15 I pray not that thou wouldest take them out of the world but keepe them from the evill 1. {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} may be understood from the evill one 2. By Evill of the world if it be understood in a larger sence it then comprehends finne and the meanes of it whether it be by Starres or else 3. In that he sayd I pray not that thou take them out of the world it shews that they are under the Influence of the heavenly powers as well as others they only are kept from the evill of them others are not 4. That these powers may occasion corruption in the bodyes of Saints and ordinarily by their influence as the meanes thereof bring forth death in or on them I see no reason to denie they having mortall and corruptible bodyes Yet so as 1. It is not mixt with any power of Satan 2. This acting of these powers is free from evill it is not the evill of the world to Saints but it is gaine to them as all other things in the world are theirs so death in this kinde is theirs also 5. God himselfe undertakes in the new world to give every good thing to the Inhabitants thereof and against and above the ayery powers to make a mans enemies to be at peace with him as in the case of Jacob and Esau Jacob and Laban Yea God himselfe Hosea 2.20 God will make a Covenant with beasts fowles creepings things for them and warre shall cease let the starry powers meet and oppose and square againe it will be nothing 6. Then the heavens will speake for the Saints not against them the earth the corne the wine and oyle will heare Jezrael as if Jezrael should then be beloved of them and as if in nature since the fall men were beloved of them Hos. 2.23 24. This is excellently set out in that the Starres are said in their order to fight against Sicera as it were God directing those heavenly powers to worke feare in the one and at that time God wrought valour in his peoples hearts Judges 5.20 Which I would rather read the Starres in their way fought c. That is in the way they fight and signifies that they have a way of fighting against such as God imploys them or from their influence or powers And that they fought for Israel God by his Angel directing them as ver. 23. Curse ye bitterly sayth the Angel of the Lord c. The Angel helped them by the Starry powers and declares a curse on the Inhabitants for not helping them 7. The ground of this appeares because Satan being bound a thousand yeares Rev. 20.2 3. the world will be free from his power and malicious actuating the ayery powers they then acting in their owne way and nature as in the Creation and directed by Gods immediate providence to his and the Ministry of his Angels to others who will no more be esteemed as fortunes and infortunes to men 8. In this binding the doctrine of Demons shall cease and Astrologie shall be laid aside for Satan hath not deceived the Nations more then by the Demon doctrine and the doctrine of Antichrist by Astrologers and Antichrist Ministers both which in the binding of Satan cease together with the Human teaching of Aristotle in the Academies by which the world hath been much seduced 9. Whereas before the binding Gods Elect were delivered from him but after that the very world in generall shall be delivered from these wayes of deceit a thousand yeares after which he is to be loosed a little all which proves the binding hath not been as yet for Satan did never deceive the world more then since the dayes of Constantine when they say he was bound these being the dayes of the Reigne of Antichrist after whom the whole world followed Note As the Kingdome of Satan and Christ differ and Christ and Satan so the powers differ one is a power acts by darknesse the other is a power acts by light one to deceive the other to direct 1. Between these powers is an enmity as it is sayd The wisdome of the world is Enmity with God James 3.15 Says it is earthly sensuall Devilish but that from above vers. 16. is pure peaceable gentle easie to be intreated c. 2. These powers shew themselves in the men acted by them so that God says Genes 3.15 I will put enmity between her seed and thy seed Gal. 4.29 He that was borne after the flesh persecuted him that was borne after the spirit 3. The greatest power is in the world to come that destroys the worke of the Devill Greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world 1 John Rom. 16.20 God shall tread downe Satan under your feete Satans power is a created power and so limited the power of a servant onely to doe what he is appointed and no more 4. All these are set out excellently in him Mark 6.2 What is there to me and thee thou Jesus c. As if he should say I am not of this world under thy power I am Satans thou hast nothing to doe with me nor I with thee so that though he worshipt Christ whiles he was under Satans power he had no desire to be under Christs that seemed a torment to him but when he was under Christs he would not againe be under Satans 5. Hence though the number of Satans subjects are more and the nature of his power more agreeable to the world yet the vertue of his power being weake it cannot prevaile no not so much as against the weaknesse of God or the weake ones of the Lord Jesus who are mighty through Christ the poore fishers cast downe Devils out of their holds take away their captives discover his deceipts 6. The conceipt was too high that Eusebius cites of the Starres that they are for signes and so are as a booke in which are set forth the natures and state of things below with the revolution of the times thereof which is expresly against the Scripture who says That the times and seasons are in the Fathers hands that is knowne onely by him so as that Christ himselfe as man had many things hid from him of that nature and therefore not revealed in the booke of the Starres Act. 1.7 Matth. 24.36 FINIS These Angels or Spirits are said to perside 354 yeares 4 moneths
