The second part is, neither was their place any more found in heaven, which manner of speech signifieth no other thing, than that the reprobate Angel is put from all dignity, glory & power: moreover that he hath no more any place in the church, or amongst the elect of God: not that the devil should not return, or should not tempt, or renew war, but because he hath no place permanent. Hereunto appertaineth that the Lord so oft repeateth in the Gospel, and now the Prince of this world is caste out, in the .12.14. and .16. chapters of Saint John. Moreover, by other places of the Scripture it is manifest, that the Devil is shut out of heaven. And it shall be easy for us to shut him out, which being cast out by the son of God, hath no place in us, unless we our selves give place to him. Which we should not do, ⟨p. 359⟩the Lord admonisheth us diligently, that we should watch. The story is known in the .12. of Matth. of the Devil, purposing to return, and therefore toke unto him seven worse spirits. But wherefore doest thou hear him, why doest thou obey him, whom thou seest shut out of Heaven? Notwithstanding that hereby is signified also, that the Devil was so fully vanquished of Christ, that he was also driven to forsake the place of the battle.
The seconde parte is, nother was theyr place any more founde in heauen, which maner of speach signifieth no other thing, than that the reprobate Angell is put from al dignitie, glory & power: moreouer that he hath no more any place in the church, or emonges the electe of God: not that the deuil should not retourne, or should not tempte, or renewe warre, but because he hath no place parmanent. Herunto apperteyneth that the Lord so ofte repeateth in the Gospel, and now the Prince of this worlde is caste oute, in the .12.14. and .16. chapters of Sainct Ihon. Moreouer, by other places of the Scripture it is manifeste, that the Deuyll is shut out of heauen. And it shall be easie for vs to shutte him oute, which being cast out by the sonne of God, hath no place in vs, vnlesse we our selues geue place to him. Which we shoulde not do, ⟨p. 359⟩the Lord admonisheth vs dilligently, that we should watch. The story is knowen in the .12. of Matth. of the Deuill, pourposing to retourne, and therfore toke vnto him seuen worse spirites. But wherefore doest thou heare him, whie doest thou obeye him, whome thou seest shut out of Heauen? Notwithstanding that herby is signified also, that the Deuil was so fully vanquished of Christ, that he was also driuen to forsake the place of the battayle.
