That Satan must have a double leave,¹ before he can do any thing against us; he must have leave from God, and leave from our selves, before he can act any thing against our happiness; he must have his commission from God, as you may see in the example of Job; though² the Devil had malice enough to destroy him, yet he had not so much as power to touch him, till God gave him a Commission.
