Satan calls this reprobates heart, his House: and so it is. 1. not by creation: for so every man is Gods house. 1. Cor. 3. Know ye not that ye are the Temple 1of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? 2. not by adaption. Cant. 5. Open to me, my Sister, &c. 2saith Christ. And Revel. 3. 1st and at the door and knock, &c. But upon our rejection of GOD, and Gods desertion of us, the hart becomes Satan's house. For it is either a seat of sanctity, or a Cage of unclean birds: a chapel for Jesus, or a den for devils: for where Christ is not by his pure spirit, Satan is by his foul spirit.
