1. The Persons Combating, Jesus and the Devil, the Seed of the Woman, and the Seed of the Serpent. It was designed long before, Gen. 3. 15. I will put enmity between thee and the Woman, and between thy Seed and her Seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel, and now it is accomplished. Here is the Prince of peace against the Prince of darkness; Michael and ⟨p. 3⟩the Dragon; the Captain of our Salvation, and our grand Enemy. The Devil is the great Architect of wickedness, as Christ is the Prince of Life and Righteousness. These are the Combatants; the one ruined the creation of God, and the other restored and repaired it.
