the_o ministry_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o most_o eminent_a branch_n of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o tempt_v to_o draw_v man_n into_o snare_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o to_o misery_n if_o you_o ask_v whence_o he_o have_v his_o power_n for_o all_o ministry_n imply_v a_o power_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v derive_v i_o answer_v from_o god_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n rom._n 13.1_o which_o be_v general_o true_a of_o angelical_a power_n aswell_o as_o humane_a thou_o can_v have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o except_o it_o be_v give_v thou_o from_o above_o say_v christ_n to_o

supreme_a from_o whence_o they_o must_v derive_v it_o and_o so_o another_o god_n every_o kingdom_n be_v under_o a_o great_a kingdom_n and_o what_o ever_o power_n there_o be_v it_o fall_v under_o a_o great_a till_o you_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o high_a therefore_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o make_v the_o devil_n creature_n make_v they_o also_o subject_a and_o if_o they_o be_v subject_a than_o the_o power_n and_o the_o manage_v of_o it_o be_v from_o god_n now_o we_o come_v to_o consider_v some_o reason_n why_o god_n give_v this_o ministry_n to_o the_o devil_n why_o it_o be_v invest_v in_o they_o by_o god_n first_o that_o the_o excellency_n and_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n may_v appear_v and_o be_v illustrate_v and_o what_o can_v do_v it_o more_o than_o to_o see_v the_o effect_n and_o efficacy_n of_o it_o in_o weak_a man_n which_o yet_o through_o god_n be_v begird_v with_o might_n and_o make_v able_a to_o grapple_v with_o this_o mighty_a adversary_n so_o paul_n when_o he_o grapple_v with_o satan_n and_o doubt_v of_o his_o strength_n and_o therefore_o will_v fain_o have_v be_v quit_v of_o such_o a_o adversary_n and_o seek_v god_n earnest_o in_o the_o matter_n have_v this_o answer_n be_v content_a my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o my_o strength_n be_v make_v perfect_a in_o weakness_n 2._o cor._n 12.9_o which_o when_o paul_n understand_v he_o glory_v in_o his_o infirmity_n and_o distress_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v rest_v upon_o he_o they_o say_v of_o some_o field_n that_o they_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v the_o field_n of_o a_o battle_n paul_n have_v rather_o have_v his_o soul_n be_v the_o field_n of_o that_o battle_n where_o christ_n shall_v overcome_v then_o be_v in_o the_o great_a rest_n or_o bear_v any_o other_o fruit_n but_o if_o you_o object_n that_o the_o inefficatiousnesse_n of_o grace_n be_v aswell_o discover_v by_o this_o obj._n because_o even_o the_o saint_n be_v sometime_o overcome_v first_o by_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v no_o gainer_n ans._n that_o little_a ground_n he_o get_v tend_v but_o to_o his_o great_a confusion_n when_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v it_o good_a but_o be_v beat_v from_o his_o strong_a hold_n and_o force_v to_o quit_v the_o field_n after_o a_o victory_n as_o the_o amalekite_n that_o rob_v david_n at_o ziglag_n get_v nothing_o for_o david_n recover_v his_o spoil_n and_o beside_o that_o the_o other_o herd_n that_o they_o drive_v before_o these_o other_o cattle_n and_o which_o he_o call_v david_n spoil_n 1._o sam._n 20.30_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o victor_n in_o the_o battle_n and_o not_o in_o the_o war_n the_o saint_n at_o last_o spoil_v the_o devil_n unthrone_v he_o degrede_v he_o as_o fruit_n of_o their_o revenge_n upon_o he_o second_o for_o god_n his_o grace_n be_v magnify_v in_o some_o sort_n by_o our_o fall_n that_o be_v it_o be_v show_v that_o it_o be_v grace_n that_o it_o be_v free_o give_v and_o therefore_o when_o his_o assistance_n withdraw_v as_o it_o run_v not_o always_o in_o a_o equal_a tenor_n we_o fall_v before_o every_o touch_n not_o only_o of_o the_o devil_n but_o of_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o instrument_n three_o it_o be_v god_n way_n and_o it_o illustrate_v exceed_o his_o goodness_n and_o bounty_n rather_o to_o bring_v great_a good_n out_o of_o evil_a then_o to_o permit_v no_o evil_a at_o all_o else_o no_o evil_n will_v befall_v his_o neither_o sin_n nor_o affliction_n so_o as_o god_n glory_n be_v still_o illustrate_v either_o by_o enable_v we_o to_o stand_v or_o at_o least_o to_o gain_v afterward_o to_o the_o confusion_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o own_o great_a glory_n in_o the_o issue_n so_o as_o the_o reason_n on_o god_n part_n stand_v good_a but_o there_o be_v second_o a_o reason_n also_o of_o this_o ministry_n in_o respect_n of_o man_n first_o for_o wicked_a man_n and_o reprobate_n god_n will_v have_v they_o harden_v he_o will_v have_v they_o deceive_v there_o be_v a_o work_n to_o be_v do_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sure_o damn_v if_o you_o ask_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o i_o will_v ask_v what_o be_v thou_o o_o man_n that_o dispute_a against_o god_n and_o if_o god_n will_v give_v man_n up_o to_o believe_v lie_n and_o send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n as_o in_o 2._o thess._n 2.11_o who_o be_v so_o fit_a to_o be_v the_o messenger_n as_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n who_o will_v do_v it_o most_o hearty_o and_o most_o efficacious_o and_o therefore_o 1._o king_n 22.22_o one_o of_o those_o spirit_n present_v himself_o for_o that_o work_n i_o will_v be_v a_o lie_a spirit_n say_v he_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o his_o prophet_n so_o when_o god_n will_v have_v man_n fill_v with_o all_o unrighteousness_n fornication_n wickedness_n as_o rom._n 1.29_o who_o be_v so_o fit_a to_o blow_v those_o bellows_n as_o the_o unclean_a spirit_n and_o since_o god_n ordinary_o converse_v with_o man_n not_o immediate_o but_o by_o medium_n and_o instrument_n by_o man_n and_o angel_n by_o minister_n and_o ordinance_n who_o be_v so_o fit_a for_o this_o base_a employment_n as_o the_o worst_a of_o creature_n the_o devil_n but_o second_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n also_o for_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o glory_n and_o crown_v which_o they_o shall_v gain_v by_o victory_n a_o man_n be_v not_o crown_v except_o he_o strive_v lawful_o 2._o tim._n 2.5_o now_o how_o shall_v he_o strive_v if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o adversary_n and_o if_o for_o a_o crown_n he_o must_v have_v a_o great_a adversary_n in_o some_o sort_n proportionable_a to_o the_o prize_n every_o saint_n be_v a_o soldier_n as_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n of_o tim._n ver_fw-la 3._o god_n have_v put_v we_o into_o the_o list_n he_o have_v

a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n a_o crown_n of_o glory_n therefore_o we_o have_v a_o mighty_a enemy_n who_o work_n and_o ministry_n be_v to_o oppose_v assail_v and_o tempt_v one_o fit_v at_o all_o point_n for_o a_o combat_n that_o know_v all_o the_o wile_n in_o war_n and_o be_v mighty_a in_o strength_n and_o the_o end_n be_v that_o great_a victory_n may_v have_v great_a glory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n but_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v other_o reason_n as_o that_o this_o great_a enemy_n this_o adversary_n may_v drive_v we_o to_o god_n and_o cause_v we_o to_o stick_v close_o to_o he_o god_n will_v have_v we_o always_o here_o with_o he_o in_o a_o spiritual_a converse_n as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o a_o personal_a nothing_o will_v make_v we_o keep_v our_o strength_n as_o the_o assurance_n of_o a_o mighty_a enemy_n if_o you_o depart_v from_o god_n but_o a_o little_a you_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v overcome_v now_o god_n that_o love_v our_o company_n have_v form_v this_o mean_n to_o drive_v we_o to_o he_o and_o there_o to_o keep_v we_o on_o such_o term_n as_o we_o may_v not_o dare_v to_o depart_v from_o he_o and_o three_o that_o we_o may_v be_v keep_v in_o a_o

to_o we_o hence_o first_o that_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o ministry_n as_o tempt_v to_o sin_n and_o depart_n from_o god_n let_v the_o saint_n bless_v god_n for_o their_o ministry_n which_o be_v
