satan_n know_v this_o too_o well_o and_o therefore_o as_o some_o thief_n when_o they_o come_v to_o rob_v a_o house_n either_o gag_n they_o in_o it_o or_o hold_v a_o pistol_n to_o their_o breast_n

be_v that_o creature_n so_o overmatched_a shall_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v against_o satan_n wile_n the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n follow_v to_o excite_v they_o the_o more_o

upon_o israel_n now_o there_o be_v a_o irrevokeable_a curse_n cleave_v to_o satan_n from_o gen._n 3.14_o 15._o and_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o the_o serpent_n because_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o thou_o

and_o he_o now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o that_o curse_n which_o may_v comfort_v the_o saint_n first_o the_o curse_n prostrate_v satan_n under_o their_o foot_n upon_o thy_o belly_n shall_v thou_o go_v which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o be_v elsewhere_o promise_v that_o god_n will_v subdue_v satan_n under_o our_o foot_n now_o this_o prostrate_a condition_n of_o satan_n assure_v believer_n that_o the_o devil_n shall_v never_o lift_v his_o head_n that_o be_v his_o wily_a policy_n high_o than_o the_o saint_n heel_n he_o may_v make_v thou_o limp_v but_o not_o bereave_v thou_o of_o thy_o life_n and_o this_o bruise_n which_o he_o give_v thou_o shall_v be_v reward_v with_o the_o break_n of_o his_o own_o head_n that_o be_v the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o he_o and_o his_o cause_n second_o his_o food_n be_v here_o limit_a and_o appoint_v satan_n shall_v not_o devour_v who_o he_o will_n the_o dust_n be_v his_o food_n which_o seem_v to_o restrain_v his_o power_n to_o the_o wicked_a who_o be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthy_a mere_a dust_n but_o for_o those_o who_o be_v of_o a_o heavenly_a extraction_n their_o grace_n be_v reserve_v for_o christ_n food_n cant._n 7.13_o and_o their_o soul_n sure_o be_v not_o a_o morsel_n for_o the_o devil_n tooth_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n who_o as_o he_o undertake_v the_o order_n of_o the_o christian_n way_n to_o heaven_n ps_n 37.24_o so_o especial_o this_o business_n of_o satan_n temptation_n we_o find_v christ_n be_v not_o lead_v of_o the_o evil_a spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v tempt_v but_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n mat._n 4.1_o satan_n tempt_v not_o when_o he_o will_v but_o when_o god_n please_v and_o the_o same_o holy_a spirit_n which_o lead_v christ_n into_o the_o field_n bring_v he_o off_o with_o victory_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v he_o march_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n after_o he_o have_v repulse_v satan_n into_o galilee_n luke_n 4.14_o when_o satan_n tempt_v a_o saint_n he_o be_v but_o god_n messenger_n 2_o cor._n 12.7_o there_o be_v give_v to_o i_o a_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v i_o so_o our_o translation_n but_o rather_o as_o beza_n who_o will_v have_v it_o in_o casu_fw-la recto_fw-la the_o messenger_n satan_n imply_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n to_o paul_n and_o indeed_o the_o errand_n he_o come_v a_o be_v too_o good_a and_o gracious_a to_o be_v his_o own_o lest_o i_o shall_v be_v exalt_v above_o measure_n the_o devil_n never_o mean_v to_o do_v paul_n such_o a_o good_a office_n but_o god_n send_v he_o to_o paul_n as_o david_n send_v vriah_n with_o letter_n to_o joab_n neither_o know_v the_o content_n of_o their_o message_n the_o devil_n and_o his_o instrument_n both_o be_v god_n instrument_n therefore_o the_o wicked_a be_v call_v his_o sword_n 10.15_o his_o axe_n now_o let_v god_n alone_o to_o wield_v the_o one_o and_o handle_v the_o other_o he_o be_v but_o a_o bungler_n that_o hurt_v and_o hackle_v his_o own_o leg_n with_o his_o own_o axe_n which_o god_n shall_v do_v if_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v the_o worse_a for_o satan_n temptation_n let_v the_o devil_n choose_v his_o way_n god_n be_v for_o he_o at_o every_o weapon_n if_o he_o will_v try_v it_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n and_o assault_v the_o saint_n by_o persecution_n as_o the_o lord_n of_o
