Sometimes you have the Covenant laid down in […] lump (as it were) in a brief Expression, as in a […] sum comprehending all the whole frame, and then […] several actions in their distinct order and manner […] ⟨p. 31⟩Gods working are to be attended and conceived, as though they had been more fully, and in the several branches set forth unto us: Take a taste of some few, Gen. 3. 5. The seed of the Woman shall break the Serpents head: The head of Satan, implies Three things,¹ Policy, Power, and Poison: To break this head is to crush and confound all these: The Policy and and Power of Satan is overthrown in the work of vocation, when the Soul is turned from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God: the venom and poison of Satan is taken away; partly in the […] and punishment which is done away in Justification, partly in the stain and pollution of sin, which is removed in Sanctification; All these Christ doth in […] hearts of all his, and some of these all the Saints of God must have evidence of before they can gain evidence that they are within the compass of this Covenant.

The Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the Devil.
