Ambrose brings in the Devil boasting against Christ, and 1challenging Judas as his own, He is not thine, Lord Jesus (saith he) he is mine, his thoughts beat for me; he eats with thee, but is fed by me; he takes bread from thee, but money from me; he drinks with thee, but sells thy blood to me. So when Satan prevails over the Saints, Look, Oh Christ! (says he) Are these the price of thy blood? are these the objects of thy love? are these the delight of thy soul? what, ⟨p. 156⟩are these thy Jewels? are these the apple of thy eye? are these thy pleasant portion? Why, Lo how I lead them? Lo how I triumph over them! they seem rather to be mine, then thine. Ah Christians! resist as for life, that Satan may never have occasion thus to insult and triumph over Christ, &c.
