Satan will then bring in a bloody Charge against them. Such is his Malignity, that he is a Complainer of God to Man, and by calumniating the Blessed Creator, seduced our first Parents; and he is the Accuser of Men to God.¹ He is styled the Accuser of the Brethren before God day and night.

But though his Charge be just against them as Sinners, yet as Penitent Sinners they are absolved by the Judg upon the Throne of Grace. This we have represented to the Prophet Zechary, ²Joshua the High Priest, a Type of the Church, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him; for that was the place of Accusers. But Christ the Blessed Reconciler interposed: And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan, even the Lord that hath ⟨p. 193⟩chosen Jerusalem, rebuke thee. But he will principally act the part of an Accuser at the last Judgment. This is intimated in that fearful Imprecation, Let Satan stand at his right hand: ³when he is judged, let him be condemned. He is now an active watchful Spirit, whose Diligence is equal to his Malice, and by glittering Snares, or violent Temptations, draws Men to Sin. But then he will be their most bitter Accuser, not from zeal of Justice, but pure Malignity. Then he will aggravate their Crimes by the most killing Circumstances; though in accusing them he indites himself, their Sins being usually done by his solicitations.
