2. His Revolution. Return.
2. His Reuolution. Returne.
The Devil being never permitted to pry into Gods secret book of Predestination: and so not knowing, who is elect, who reprobate; hopes still to return into any house, whence he hath bin ejected. And accordingly, in many, too many he prevails. If Satan be totally thrown out, in vain he expects returning; especially to get any dominion in the lost fort. But we read, that a man may know the truth, and yet forsake it: be enlightened, nay 1taste of the powers of the world to come: nay be said (in some respects) sanctified, yet crucify Christ again. 2To these will Satan return, with as strong a power as ever.
