betray_v our_o lord_n without_o a_o permission_n this_o may_v suffice_v then_o to_o satisfy_v you_o in_o this_o great_a comfortable_a point_n viz._n that_o the_o devil_n can_v do_v what_o he_o will_v that_o his_o power_n be_v but_o a_o limit_a power_n god_n hold_v he_o in_o and_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v a_o jot_n further_o than_o he_o please_v sect_n ii_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o point_n of_o doctrine_n be_v these_o first_o because_o though_o satan_n have_v a_o power_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_a his_o power_n be_v a_o limit_a power_n though_o satan_n be_v potent_a yet_o he_o be_v not_o omnipotent_a god_n be_v above_o he_o though_o he_o be_v mighty_a yet_o he_o be_v not_o almighty_a though_o he_o be_v great_a yet_o he_o be_v not_o great_a though_o he_o can_v do_v many_o thing_n yet_o he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n final_o satan_n power_n be_v narrow_a than_o his_o will_n and_o malice_n otherwise_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v a_o church_n on_o earth_n second_o as_o god_n have_v set_v bound_n and_o limit_n to_o satan_n power_n as_o his_o power_n be_v not_o absolute_a so_o it_o be_v not_o independent_a it_o be_v dependent_a it_o hang_v upon_o the_o power_n of_o god_n three_o though_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o spirit_n yet_o he_o be_v but_o a_o create_a spirit_n god_n only_o a_o uncreated_a spirit_n now_o the_o create_a spirit_n be_v the_o less_o the_o uncreated_a spirit_n the_o great_a and_o the_o less_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o great_a the_o devil_n therefore_o be_v subject_n to_o god_n the_o create_a spirit_n be_v finite_a the_o uncreated_a spirit_n infinite_a the_o finite_a be_v overrule_v by_o the_o infinite_a therefore_o satan_n by_o god_n four_o though_o satan_n be_v a_o prince_n yet_o he_o be_v but_o a_o captive_a prince_n and_o though_o he_o have_v a_o little_a liberty_n to_o go_v up_o and_o down_o yet_o he_o be_v under_o bail_n and_o in_o irresistible_a chain_n of_o providence_n five_o though_o satan_n be_v ruler_n yet_o it_o be_v only_o of_o this_o low_a world_n not_o of_o the_o heavenly_a the_o high_a the_o devil_n can_v go_v be_v the_o air_n call_v the_o prince_n thereof_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o upper_a world_n heaven_n fear_v no_o devil_n and_o therefore_o its_o gate_n stand_v always_o open_a never_o dare_v this_o fiend_n look_v into_o that_o holy_a place_n since_o he_o be_v first_o expel_v but_o range_v to_o and_o fro_o here_o below_o as_o a_o vagabond_n creature_n be_v not_o then_o this_o matter_n of_o joy_n that_o satan_n have_v no_o power_n there_o where_o the_o saint_n happiness_n lie_v all_o the_o mischief_n the_o devil_n can_v do_v be_v in_o our_o way_n to_o heaven_n not_o in_o heaven_n he_o can_v come_v to_o the_o roll_n to_o blot_v thy_o name_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n he_o can_v null_a thy_o faith_n make_v void_a thy_o relation_n he_o can_v dry_v up_o thy_o comfort_n in_o the_o spring_n though_o dam_v up_o the_o stream_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n i_o will_v come_v now_o to_o the_o application_n of_o it_o sect_n iii_o first_o i_o infer_v from_o hence_o why_o it_o be_v that_o believer_n be_v not_o devour_v as_o well_o as_o other_o it_o be_v not_o because_o satan_n will_v not_o but_o because_o he_o can_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o he_o tempt_v believer_n as_o he_o do_v it_o be_v because_o he_o can_v give_v they_o no_o other_o hell_n the_o devil_n be_v sure_a of_o unbeliever_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o alone_o he_o trouble_v not_o they_o about_o their_o salvation_n as_o he_o do_v the_o believer_n all_o the_o devil_n do_v to_o believer_n be_v only_o vex_v and_o molest_v of_o they_o he_o will_v devour_v they_o that_o believer_n i_o say_v be_v not_o devour_v be_v because_o the_o devil_n can_v believer_n they_o be_v keep_v
