3. Sinners are under the power of Satan; he lays a claim ⟨p. 213⟩unto them, and by what means shall they be rescued from his interest and dominion? This also his death was designed to accomplish. For as he was manifest to destroy the works of the Devil, 1 John 3. 8. So by death he destroyed him that had the power of death, Heb. 2. 14. That is, to despoil him of his Power, to destroy his Dominion, to take away his plea unto sinners that believe; as we have at large elsewhere declared.

For as he was manifest to destroy the works of the Devil, 1 John 3. 8. So by death he destroyed him that had the power of death, Heb. 2. 14.

And by all these things, with many other concernments of his death that might be instanced in, we are abundantly secured of the forgiveness that is with God: And of his willingness that we should be made partakers thereof.
