The sixth and last Proposition is this.
That God will shortly tread down1 Satan under the Saints feet. Christ our Champion hath already won the Field, and will shortly set our feet upon the necks of our spiritual enemies. Satan is a foiled Adversary, Christ hath led him captive, and triumphed over him upon the Cross. Christ hath already overcome him, and put weapons into your hands, that you may overcome him also, & set your feet upon his neck. Though Satan be a roaring Lion, yet Christ, who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah will make Satan fly, and fall before you. Let Satan do his worst, yet you shall have the honour and the happiness to triumph over him. Cheer up, you precious sons of Zion, for the certainty and sweetness of Victory will abundantly recompense you, for all the pains you have taken, in making resistance against Satan's temptations. The broken horns of Satan shall be Trumpets of our triumph, and the Cornets of our joy, &c.
