but_o second_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o this_o wilderness_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o wilderness_n yield_v fruit_n for_o the_o support_v

a_o wilderness_n of_o wood_n and_o wild_a beast_n that_o have_v no_o understanding_n to_o receive_v it_o and_o as_o great_a a_o darkness_n it_o be_v for_o thou_o to_o think_v that_o any_o devil_n without_o man_n or_o devil-man_n can_v so_o far_o overcome_v christ_n as_o to_o lead_v he_o into_o such_o a_o wilderness_n no_o no_o therefore_o take_v notice_n that_o wilderness_n john_n preach_v

fire_n whereby_o i_o and_o other_o may_v so_o believe_v that_o we_o may_v become_v true_a bread_n unto_o christ_n for_o in_o john_n 4._o 32_o 34._o there_o say_v christ_n i_o have_v meat_n to_o eat_v that_o you_o know_v not_o of_o mean_v his_o dispute_n with_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n as_o touch_v this_o it_o be_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n which_o

can_v no_o harm_n befall_v thou_o in_o that_o he_o have_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v concern_v thou_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o our_o king_n we_o shall_v conquer_v the_o whole_a

faith_n than_o thou_o can_v with_o i_o acknowledge_v that_o this_o exceed_o high_a mountain_n which_o the_o devil_n show_v christ_n and_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n with_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o be_v all_o in_o the_o devil_n own_o heart_n for_o if_o you_o mind_n the_o chief_a priest_n and_o ruler_n from_o whence_o this_o devil-man_n be_v send_v they_o in_o their_o council_n

that_o now_o you_o have_v the_o interpretation_n of_o that_o scripture_n which_o till_o this_o last_o witness_n can_v never_o be_v right_o understand_v that_o the_o high_a mountain_n there_o speak_v of_o

world_n for_o though_o the_o body_n of_o the_o mighty_a angel_n be_v in_o form_n like_o man_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o they_o shine_v like_a unto_o the_o sun_n or_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n be_v

so_o that_o with_o great_a ease_n they_o pierce_v through_o a_o narrow_a passage_n at_o the_o divine_a pleasure_n of_o the_o creator_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v with_o that_o serpent-tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n for_o though_o his_o create_a purity_n be_v become_v all_o manner_n of_o imaginary_a impurity_n through_o his_o outcast_a condition_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o his_o form_n be_v of_o a_o more_o fiery_a brightness_n then_o that_o of_o adam_n or_o else_o eve_n can_v not_o possible_o have_v be_v deceive_v by_o he_o as_o aforesaid_a also_o his_o body_n

again_o though_o the_o angelical_a serpent_n descend_v into_o the_o womb_n of_o eve_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o his_o ascend_a nature_n be_v utter_o lose_v so_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o his_o ascend_a upward_o into_o that_o habitation_n of_o ravish_a glory_n from_o whence_o he_o be_v cast_v he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o and_o of_o that_o god_n and_o his_o mighty_a angel_n as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o know_v they_o in_o the_o least_o therefore_o he_o imagine_v his_o serpentine_a subtlety_n to_o be_v the_o only_a wisdom_n then_o in_o be_v and_o this_o world_n to_o be_v the_o only_a heaven_n thus_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n may_v be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v be_v or_o at_o the_o resurrection_n shall_v so_o rise_v be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n and_o this_o cain_n mandevil_n in_o process_n of_o time_n marry_v and_o beget_v son_n and_o daughter_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v a_o male_a but_o female_a devil_n also_o yea_o since_o there_o have_v be_v and_o now_o be_v legion_n yea_o million_o of_o legion_n of_o his_o seed_n in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o that_o as_o comely_a person_n as_o ever_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o woman_n o_o than_o you_o seed_n of_o cain_n look_v about_o you_o and_o serious_o lay_v to_o heart_n how_o rash_o it_o have_v and_o now_o at_o this_o day_n be_v preach_v and_o by_o you_o believe_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v long_o before_o man_n be_v create_v as_o also_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v never_o the_o form_n or_o shape_n of_o a_o man_n but_o as_o it_o please_v master_n painter_n to_o draw_v he_o forth_o in_o such_o a_o form_n that_o when_o the_o devil_n know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o devil_n thou_o will_v see_v the_o cheat_n of_o both_o the_o limner_n and_o his_o picture_n notwithstanding_o it_o have_v be_v infallible_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o devil_n but_o what_o be_v in_o man_n and_o woman_n yet_o it_o be_v make_v know_v unto_o i_o the_o various_a plea_n and_o excuse_n why_o or_o wherefore_o the_o generation_n of_o cain_n have_v endeavour_v to_o find_v out_o a_o devil_n before_o and_o without_o man_n first_o because_o that_o which_o be_v a_o devil_n be_v in_o antipathy_n to_o god_n so_o a_o profess_a enemy_n to_o his_o glorious_a person_n also_o the_o very_a name_n devil_n be_v a_o frightful_a curse_a name_n a_o name_n that_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o all_o sober-minded_n man_n therefore_o to_o cloak_v their_o curse_a devilish_a action_n and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v note_v by_o the_o righteous_a abel_n to_z be_v devil_n this_o devilish_a generation_n attribute_n it_o to_o a_o devil_n without_o they_o first_o it_o be_v by_o they_o suppose_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o deform_a creature_n of_o a_o ugly_a shape_n with_o a_o cleave_a foot_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o it_o can_v be_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n for_o they_o be_v comely_a beautiful_a creature_n second_o it_o be_v by_o they_o believe_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v transform_v himself_o into_o any_o form_n and_o appear_v where_o how_o and_o when_o he_o please_v therefore_o it_o can_v be_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v the_o devil_n in_o that_o man_n can_v do_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n three_o say_v they_o the_o devil_n be_v in_o hell_n torment_v and_o torment_v all_o that_o he_o can_v captivate_v in_o his_o bound_n but_o we_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n not_o torment_v neither_o torment_n we_o any_o man_n four_o say_v they_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o wicked_a curse_a blasphemer_n against_o god_n and_o all_o that_o be_v good_a yea_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o lie_v murder_a persecutor_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v this_o devil_n in_o that_o he_o be_v a_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n and_o be_v reverend_a of_o his_o name_n no_o blasphemer_n or_o persecutor_n of_o his_o people_n five_o and_o last_o the_o great_a appeal_n the_o seed_n of_o cain_n can_v make_v for_o himself_o be_v this_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o devil_n but_o what_o be_v in_o man_n and_o woman_n then_o say_v they_o king_n may_v be_v devil_n magistrate_n devil_n merchant_n devil_n lawyer_n devil_n soldier_n devil_n doctor_n devil_n and_o preacher_n devil_n and_o so_o in_o conclusion_n there_o may_v be_v few_o other_o in_o this_o world_n that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v be_v raise_v but_o devil_n from_o these_o and_o such_o like_a have_v that_o proud_a spirit_n of_o reason_n in_o they_o corrupt_o imagine_v a_o devil_n after_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o

these_o and_o such_o like_a be_v in_o some_o measure_n satisfactory_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v a_o devil_n without_o they_o beside_o they_o and_o contrary_a to_o man_n
