But Christ came to destroy the works of the Devil, as it is said 1 Joh. 3. 8. and he himself 1overcame Satan, and triumphed over him, as it is Colos. 2. He lead him in triumph: he triumphed 2over Satan himself, and he will triumph over Satan in all his members: as he over-came Satan in himself; so he will overcome in us all; For stronger is he that is in us, then he that is in the world. The Spirit of God, as he is in us, is stronger then Satan, not only Christ our glorious Captain overcame him, and is now in Heaven, but the Spirit of God in us weak creatures, with faith laying hold upon the word of God, is stronger then he that is in the world, he is stronger then the Devil, and all that are against us.
