(4) Some hear the word of God, but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

(1) Sometimes when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he returneth again, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

(m) Wherefore take unto you the whole ar mour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood; but against principalities, against powers, against the ruler of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

(2) Be sober, be vigilant; lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, the tempter should tempt you also, and so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

(0) For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light; and therefore it is no great thing. if his ministers also, viz. false apostles and deceitful workers, be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.

(p) Behold Satan hath desired to have us, that. he may sift us as wheat. Let us therefore watch and pray, that we enter not into temptation; lest Satan should get an advantage of us and hinder us, 3 running the race that is set before us.

disobedience; and the working of Satan is with all power and signs, and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness, in them that perish.

(d) The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

(e) The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man which sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemies came and sowed tares among the wheat. He that soweth the good seed is the son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; and the that soweth them is the devil.

(f) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; whosoever doth not righteousness, is not of God; neither he that loveth not his brother.

If

(a) If we do not give place to the devil, but resist him, stedfast in the faith, he will flee from us. But it is difficult for them to recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

(r) If any man, that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, of a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, or such like wicked person; it is so judged and ordered by the epostles, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, wher we are gathered together with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, such a one be delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh; or that he may learn not to blaspheme; that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Concerning the Durr of MAN to GOD.__

In GENERAL

(a) ALL the ends of the world shall remember

and turn unto the Lord: All dominions >

shall serve and obey him.

(b) All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

(c) As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

(d) None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord Whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. And we are not our own; for we are bought with a price. Let us therefore glo-rify God in our body, and in our spirit, which are God's.

(e) Let us have grace, whereby we may seve God acceptably; serving him with our spirit in the gospel of his Son..
