2. The second Regiment to be resisted, is Satan and the infernal Powers*, 1 Pet. 5. 8. Your adversary the Devil as a roaring Lyon walketh about*: He walketh about not as a Pilgrim, but a spy that narrowly observes; there were liars in wait for Sampson, Judg. 16. 12. Satan like a musketeer lies in ambush, and his design carries death in the front, seeking whom he may devour: He tempts one man to be drunk, another to be unclean; he sets Kingdoms a-quarrelling, that at last he may devour them, like him who sets two cocks of the game to fight, that having killed each other, he may sup with their carcasses. Doth this hellish Goliath come into the field, and defy the living God? and shall not some spear be lift up against him? 1 Pet. 5. 9. Whom resist steadfast in faith.
