7. If the Lords soldiers be so circumspect, as neither by force nor fraud he can prevail, he will not stick to change his flag: and seem to fight under the Lords banner, ase Tobiah, Sanballat, and other deadly enemies of the Jews endeavoured to do. In this respect the Apostle saith, that'sf Satan transformeth himself into an Angel of light, and his Ministers into the Apostles of Christ. Thus oftentimes he prevaileth with such as are of tender consciences to make many needless scruples, by accounting such things to be sin, which Gods word never made⟨p. 43⟩ sin, and by thinking many things to be necessary duties, which belong not at all unto them.
