But he hath delivered us, 1or set us at liberty in respect of the Devil: For we are given unto Christ our Redeemer to be his own, neither hath the Devil any more right or power over us: And this Christs Dominion over us cost him enough, who therefore also hath care of it, and preserveth it. Of that dominion we dispute especially in this place: For the Devil doth not acknowledge Christ to be such a Lord unto him, as we confess him to be unto us, because he hath redeemed us, and because he guideth us with his Spirit.

Of that dominion we dispute especially in this place: For the Divel doth not acknowledge Christ to be such a Lord unto him, as we confesse him to be unto us, because he hath redeemed us, and because he guideth us with his Spirit.

Of this dominion himself speaketh: None of them are lost which thou gavest me. No man shall pluck my sheep out of my hands. He keepeth the wicked to destruction,
