He sayeth how he is not ignorant, where the church of Pergamos dwelleth: even there verily where Satan hath fixed his seat or throne. That is to say I know in what case thou art, in what dangers, and with whom thou art matched. He sayeth not,1 I know that thou sittest in the seat of Satan: but, I know that thou dwellest there, where Satan hath his seat. Christ therefore is not ignorant of the labours, sorrows and temptations of the faithful. And the knowledge of Christ hath a certain peculiar thing. For ⟨p. 74⟩Christ so knoweth the matters of the faithful that he is both touched with the same, and hath also a consideration or respect of his servants. And we see how Christ also placeth his throne there, where the Devil hath his seat just by. At the length he thrusteth him out of his seat.

And we see howe Christ also placeth his throne there, where the Deuill hathe his seate iust by. At the length he thrusteth him out of his seate.
