4. You may know it by the manner of doing; for the Devil doth it disorderly, suddenly, and violently, without any equality; but the Spirit proceedeth orderly: first, it enlighteneth the mind, and then it raiseth objections; and so goeth on by a little and a little; but the Devil worketh violently. Hence is that that Satan is said to buffet Paul; for all buffeting betokeneth violence. Indeed, sometime the Spirit doth unequally, but yet there is a great difference between Satan's working and his.
