Object. 1. Satan was made of God: And therefore the malice also of Satan. Answ. God made indeed all the Angels;1 yea those who became Apostates and Devils: but yet he created all the Angels at the beginning good. But Satan is said not to have stood steadfast in the truth: Then before his fall he stood in the truth; but after he treacherously fell from his allegiance, and sinned against God: and therefore the crime of that evil sticketh in that run-away the Devil. For since that time, after he fell, there is no truth in him, no faith, no integrity, no fear of God, no light, no goodness.2 He that committeth sin is of the Devil, &c. for he is the first sinner, and the fountain of sin.
