1. First he overcomes,1 destroys, and breaks him in pieces, with his power: Heb: 2. 14. by death he destroyed him, that had the power of death, that is, the Devil. The first thing that was promised of him, was, That he should break the head of the Serpent: Gen. 3. 15. He doth it also in, and for the seed of the Woman, all the Elect of God, opposed to the seed of the Serpent, or Generation of Vipers. In pursuit hereof, he spoils Principalities and Powers, and makes a show of them openly, triumphing over them in his Cross, Col. 2. 15. In the blood of his Cross he conquered, and brake the power of the Devil, binding that strong man Armed, and spoiling his goods, making a show of him, and them, as great Conquerors were wont to do with their Captives and their spoils.
