1He declareth at three words, first the victory of Christ, secondly of all christians. The first is [Greek or Hebrew], they prevailed not, they had no strength. Doubtless the force of the devil is great if God permit, and clearly greatest, in consideration of the just judgement of God, as also appeareth in Job, that he is able to slake & break the strongest things. But the Lord saith in the gospel.2 The Prince of this world came, and against me he hath nothing. Again in the gospel: The gates of Hell shall not prevail against her, the rock I mean, and secondly against the church. Although therefore the Devil make an horrible uproar, and cruelly rage against Christ and his church, yet is he without force. For the virtue of Christ prevaileth.

Doubtles the force of the deuyll is greate if God permitte, and clerely greatest, in consideration of the iuste iudgement of God, as also appeareth in Iob, that he is able to slake & breake the strongest thinges. But the Lorde sayth in the gospel.2 The Prince of this world came, and against me he hath nothing. Again in the gospel: The gates of Hell shall not preuayle againg her, the rocke I meane, and secondly againste the church. Although therfore the Deuyl make an horrible vprore, and cruelly rage against Christ and his church, yet is he without force. For the vertue of Christe preuayleth.
