satan_n compass_v the_o earth_n by_o henry_n smith_n london_n imprint_v by_o thomas_n scarlet_n 1592._o job._n 1.7.8_o 7_o then_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o satan_n whence_o come_v thou_o and_o satan_n answer_v the_o lord_n say_v from_o compass_v the_o earth_n to_o and_o fro_o and_o from_o walk_v in_o it_o 8_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o satan_n have_v thou_o not_o consider_v my_o servant_n job_n how_o none_o be_v like_o he_o in_o the_o earth_n a_o upright_o man_n one_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o eschu_v evil_a i_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o question_n already_o now_o of_o the_o answer_n compass_v here_o do_v signify_v tempt_v &_o the_o earth_n do_v signify_v all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o come_v from_o tempt_v all_o man_n it_o be_v some_o vantage_n unto_o we_o to_o hear_v that_o the_o spaniard_n be_v come_v before_o they_o come_v and_o what_o number_n they_o have_v and_o how_o they_o be_v appoint_v that_o we_o may_v levy_v our_o force_n according_o but_o belove_a there_o be_v a_o great_a adversary_n than_o the_o spaniarde_n which_o bring_v in_o the_o spaniard_n your_o adversary_n the_o devil_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o hear_v when_o he_o come_v that_o we_o may_v be_v in_o a_o readiness_n against_o he_o as_o we_o prepare_v against_o they_o therefore_o this_o scripture_n and_o this_o time_n accord_v well_o in_o revelation_n 12.10_o the_o devil_n be_v call_v a_o accuser_n and_o now_o i_o be_o a_o accuser_n of_o the_o accuser_n he_o accuse_v we_o to_o god_n &_o god_n accuse_v he_o to_o we_o that_o when_o he_o come_v like_o a_o angel_n yet_o we_o may_v say_v to_o he_o like_o christ_n avoid_v satan_n first_o geve_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v unto_o you_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v for_o that_o which_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v unto_o you_o of_o the_o devil_n the_o devil_n will_v not_o have_v you_o hear_v and_o therefore_o as_o he_o be_v here_o call_v a_o compasser_n so_o he_o will_v compass_v your_o eye_n with_o show_n and_o your_o ear_n with_o sound_n and_o your_o sense_n with_o sleep_n and_o your_o thought_n with_o fancy_n and_o all_o to_o hinder_v you_o from_o hear_v while_o the_o article_n be_v against_o he_o and_o after_o i_o have_v speak_v he_o will_v compass_v you_o again_o with_o business_n and_o care_n and_o pleasure_n and_o quarrel_n to_o make_v you_o forget_v that_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v as_o he_o have_v make_v you_o forget_v that_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o or_o else_o to_o contemn_v it_o as_o though_o you_o may_v do_v well_o without_o it_o as_o he_o have_v compass_v they_o which_o do_v walk_v in_o the_o street_n while_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n sound_v in_o the_o church_n as_o they_o pass_v by_o therefore_o before_o every_o sermon_n you_o have_v need_n to_o remember_v christ_n lesson_n take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v now_o to_o the_o matter_n satan_n from_o whence_o come_v thou_o i_o come_v from_o compass_v the_o earth_n here_o the_o devil_n be_v call_v in_o like_o a_o jailer_n which_o keep_v some_o in_o perpetual_a prison_n and_o some_o be_v bail_v and_o some_o return_n to_o prison_n again_o and_o some_o be_v execute_v they_o which_o sin_n fearful_o stay_v as_o it_o be_v about_o the_o prison_n but_o be_v not_o bind_v they_o which_o sin_n witting_o be_v under_o lock_n they_o which_o sin_n greedy_o be_v under_o lock_n and_o bolt_n they_o which_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n be_v like_o they_o which_o be_v condemn_v this_o be_v the_o bondage_n which_o we_o have_v bring_v ourselves_o unto_o for_o a_o fair_a apple_n when_o the_o tempter_n overcome_v we_o we_o be_v remove_v out_o of_o paradise_n where_o we_o be_v seat_v when_o we_o have_v overcome_v the_o tempter_n we_o shall_v be_v translate_v into_o heaven_n where_o he_o be_v seat_v heaven_n door_n be_v wide_a and_o the_o way_v be_v broad_a before_o the_o rebellion_n but_o when_o weeknockt_v at_o the_o cannell_n door_n than_o the_o good_a door_n be_v shut_v heaven_n be_v large_a but_o the_o way_v to_o heaven_n must_v be_v narrow_v therefore_o god_n have_v set_v our_o enemy_n in_o the_o gate_n to_o fight_v with_o we_o before_o we_o enter_v that_o this_o say_n may_v be_v verify_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v catch_v by_o violence_n so_o soon_o as_o we_o rise_v in_o the_o morning_n we_o go_v forth_o to_o fight_v with_o two_o mighty_a giant_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o who_o do_v we_o take_v with_o u●_n but_o a_o traitor_n this_o brittle_a flesh_n which_o i●_n ready_a to_o yield_v we_o up_o to_o the_o enemy_n at_o every_o assault_n only_o he_o which_o suffer_v satan_n to_o compass_v we_o do_v stay_v he_o from_o destroy_a us._n when_o god_n ask_v cain_n where_o be_v thy_o brother_n cain_n lie_v and_o say_v i_o can_v tell_v when_o god_n ask_v sarah_n why_o she_o laugh_v sarah_n lie_v and_o say_v i_o laugh_v not_o but_o when_o god_n ask_v the_o devil_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v he_o answer_v true_o i_o come_v from_o compass_v the_o earth_n and_o yet_o he_o which_o speak_v truth_n himself_o teach_v they_o to_o lie_v as_o he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o liar_n because_o he_o teach_v all_o other_o to_o lie_v how_o then_o be_v cain_n worse_o than_o the_o devil_n because_o he_o lie_v and_o the_o other_o tell_v truth_n by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v that_o carnal_a man_n do_v not_o know_v so_o much_o of_o god_n as_o the_o very_a devil_n know_v for_o he_o know_v that_o god_n can_v tell_v where_o he_o have_v be_v but_o cain_n doubt_v whether_o god_n can_v tell_v what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o he_o make_v a_o lie_n thus_o thus_o the_o devil_n teach_v his_o scholar_n to_o do_v worse_o sometime_o than_o he_o will_v do_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o will_v bring_v they_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a into_o a_o worse_a plight_n than_o he_o be_v himself_o the_o devil_n faith_n can_v save_v we_o no_o more_o than_o it_o can_v save_v he_o the_o devil_n knowledge_n can_v convert_v we_o no_o more_o than_o it_o do_v convert_v he_o and_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n believe_v that_o which_o he_o believe_v himself_o nor_o have_v we_o understand_v so_o much_o as_o he_o understand_v himself_o for_o if_o cain_n have_v understand_v so_o much_o as_o he_o that_o god_n know_v whether_o he_o lie_v or_o no_o he_o will_v have_v answer_v god_n true_o as_o satan_n do_v but_o the_o devil_n know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o dissemble_n with_o god_n who_o know_v what_o he_o ask_v before_o he_o ask_v therefore_o he_o tell_v troth_n to_o god_n though_o he_o lie_v to_o man_n for_o to_o lie_v unto_o he_o which_o know_v be_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v lie_v to_o himself_o but_o cain_n be_v not_o so_o well_o learned_a he_o think_v peradventure_o yet_o god_n may_v understand_v his_o murder_n as_o a_o thief_n suspect_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o the_o judge_n may_v know_v his_o theft_n but_o he_o doubt_v whether_o god_n do_v know_v it_o &_o therefore_o he_o deny_v it_o like_o one_o which_o be_v guilty_a but_o think_v that_o if_o he_o confess_v he_o shall_v be_v hang_v and_o therefore_o though_o evidence_n and_o witness_n accuse_v they_o yet_o you_o see_v many_o which_o will_v not_o accuse_v themselves_o from_o compass_v the_o earth_n he_o which_o be_v call_v satan_n before_o which_o signify_v a_o adversary_n be_v here_o say_v to_o compass_v the_o earth_n which_o be_v to_o say_v be_v put_v together_o a_o adversary_n compass_v the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o let_v the_o earth_n beware_v like_o a_o city_n which_o be_v besiege_v with_o the_o adversary_n the_o devil_n have_v mo_z name_n then_o any_o prince_n have_v title_n some_o god_n have_v give_v to_o he_o and_o some_o he_o have_v give_v to_o himself_o but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o the_o devil_n name_n that_o he_o never_o call_v himself_o a_o liar_n nor_o a_o tempter_n nor_o a_o accuser_n nor_o a_o slanderer_n nor_o a_o deceiver_n nor_o a_o devourer_n nor_o a_o murderer_n nor_o a_o master_n nor_o a_o adversary_n nor_o a_o viper_n nor_o a_o lion_n nor_o a_o dragon_n nor_o a_o wolf_n nor_o a_o cockatrice_n nor_o a_o serpent_n but_o when_o christ_n ask_v he_o his_o name_n he_o call_v himself_o legion_n which_o import_v a_o multitude_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v brag_v of_o his_o number_n and_o here_o he_o call_v himself_o in_o effect_n the_o compasser_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v brag_v of_o his_o power_n and_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o luke_n &_o sixth_o verse_n he_o call_v himself_o the_o possess_a of_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v brag_v of_o his_o possession_n and_o in_o the_o same_o he_o
