Thirdly, The Devil, who is The Deceiver; of whose devices we are not ignorant (saith the Apostle) he is full of tricks and plots; he hath his methods, his arts to deceive. Ever since the Devil deceived himself, he hath been studying how to deceive man; he doth not only go about like a roaring Lyon, but like a subtle Serpent, and a cunning Fox, seeking whom he may devour; or he is a Lyon to devour those whom he hath first deceived as a Fox, or as a Serpent: Man is a persuadable creature (Gen. 9.27.) God shall persuade Japheth to dwell in the Tents of Shem: The Original word there used to persuade, signifies also to deceive, because persuasions are often made as Engines, or baits to deceive.
Thirdly, The Devill, who is The Deceiver; of whose devices we are not ignorant (saith the Apostle) he is full of tricks and plots; he hath his methods, his arts to deceive. Ever since the Devill deceived himselfe, he hath been studying how to deceive man; he doth not onely goe about like a roaring Lyon, but like a subtle Serpent, and a cunning Fox, seeking whom he may devour; or he is a Lyon to devour those whom he hath first deceived as a Fox, or as a Serpent: Man is a perswadable creature (Gen. 9.27.) God shall perswade Japhet to dwell in the Tents of Shem: The Originall word there used to perswade, signifies also to deceive, because perswasions are often made as Engines, or baytes to deceive.
