Answ. ¹Surely they have tasted of Gods mercy: for the Devils were made at first glorious Angels, Angels of light. The damned were also at first created in a most happy estate, even after Gods image: and many of them had a long time, and fair means of repentance offered unto them; besides, the many outward temporal blessings which in this world they have enjoyed. They all have abused and rejected Gods mercy.
