Again, let us learn to extract contrary principles to Satan, out of Gods 1proceedings. What doth he reason, when we are dead, either in sin, or in misery? What hast thou to do with God?

I am a despairing sinner, a great sinner: but the more God will magnify his mercy, that where sin hath abounded, grace may abound much more. Retort home the argument, draw contrary principles to him, this is a divine Art which faith hath.
