There is a question, whom we are to understand by these Donees, or the receivers of this gift? Some expound the text (with a speciality of the devil) The earth is given into the hand of that wicked one, 1who is, us, the Prince of the air, so, the Prince of this world, and hath great power upon the earth. But take it of wicked men, who are the servants and heirs of Satan; as the Saints are the heirs of Christ, and receive all things from him; so wicked men are the heirs of Satan, his children, and what they receive as a common gift from God, they receive by a special gift from Satan. The devil boasted to Christ (Mat. 4.) All these things will I give thee; if thou will fall ⟨p. 324⟩down and worship me. Though the devil be a very beggar, and hath not a shoe-latchet of his own to give, yet for such services and homages he gives out large possessions of the world (common providence so ordering it) to wicked men, his vassals.
