Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
All of all sorts are to wrestle and fight this spiritual combat. 1Neither Ministers,2 nor people, poor nor rich, male nor female, newly planted, nor old grown, none of whatsoever rank, condition, estate, age, quality, &c. exempted. gWhosoever is of the seed of the woman, must look to have his heel bruised. There is enmity betwixt the two seeds; theh Devil spared not the woman which was the weaker vessel, andi he feared not the head, Christ himself, who was the strongest of all. Who may think to be spared? who can imagine that Satan will fear to wrestle with him?
