And for our third enemy, the world, you cannot have a more full description of its power then as it is presented to you Revel. 13. 1. I saw a Beast arising out of the Sea having seven heads and ten horns. Our Text speaks but of four horns, and here are ten; yet if you look into the 5. Revel. you shall find an answerable strength in Christ, who is described to be a Lamb having seven horns, seven rather then ten being the number of perfection in Scripture. But if you think that seven is not enough to equalize the ten, you find ⟨p. 13⟩also in Habak. 3. ver. 4. that the Lord our God is said to have horns in his hand, because all the works of his hand are done in strength and power. So that what ever your enemies are, there is strength enough in Jesus Christ to subdue their strength.
