And this must also be extended even to the very devils, reprobates, and wicked persons. For we know that the devil always is diligent to destroy us, and is like a roaring Lyon.1 For he runneth about and seeketh for a pray which he may devour, as Peter saith in his first Epistle. We see also how all the wicked do imagine our destruction every moment, & how furiously they rage against us. But God which can stop the mouths of the Lyons, will also bridle the devil and all the wicked, that they shall not in any wise hurt us but by his permission. Yea experience doth teach us that the devil and all the wicked are repressed by his hand. For we should perish every moment, but that God by his power turneth away innumerable dangers which hang over our heads. Let us therefore know that it is by the singular benefit of God, that we remain safe even one day in so great rage and madness of our enemies.
