be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n or_o true_a interpretation_n of_o other_o scripture_n but_o that_o satan_n shall_v come_v bodily_a or_o assume_v a_o shape_n be_v not_o

namely_o his_o own_o voluntary_a motion_n and_o will_n he_o come_v unsent_a for_o himself_o christ_n come_v not_o but_o lead_v of_o the_o spirit_n satan_n come_v of_o himself_o and_o the_o same_o

whatsoever_o they_o be_v about_o they_o will_v look_v to_o the_o motion_n what_o warrant_v they_o have_v for_o it_o whence_o it_o be_v and_o whether_o it_o tend_v whether_o they_o be_v lead_v or_o

work_n and_o execute_v their_o own_o lust_n humour_n and_o desire_n yea_o in_o the_o thing_n they_o do_v best_a they_o look_v for_o no_o warrant_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a every_o thing_n be_v begin_v as_o with_o a_o left_a hand_n they_o be_v without_o blessing_n and_o protection_n see_v this_o difference_n between_o ahab_n and_o jehoshaphat_n 1._o
