Q. 9. If Christ have all power, why doth he let Satan and Sin still reign over the far greatest part of the Earth?
A. 1. Satan reigneth but over Volunteers that wilfully and obstinately choose that Condition: And he reigneth but as the Jailer in the Prison, as Gods Executioner on the wilful refusers of his Grace.f And his reign is far from absolute; he crosseth none of the Decrees of God, nor overcometh his power, but doth what God seeth meet to permit him to do. He shall destroy none of Gods Elect, nor any that are truly willing of Saving Grace. And as for the fewness of the Elect ⟨p. 116⟩I shall speak of it after, about the Catholic Church.
