Wherefore we must take heed, of that 1same subtle (Satan) who can so well transform him self into an angel of light, to make the truth of God to serve our affections, and to change it into a lye and blasphemy: when Satan knoweth that there is any fear of God, and any knowledge of truth in us, and that we do any thing reverence the holy scriptures, he armeth him self to fight against us by them, 2and he allegeth them to us, as he did to Christ Jesus when he tempted him.3
