1. For Satan. He is dispossessed and cast out at Conversion. Luk. 11.21, 22. When a strong Man armed keepeth his Palace, his Goods are in Safety. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his Armour, wherein he trusted, and divideth his Spoils. Then Christ taketh away the Prey.
