2. Deliverance out of this Bondage is by Conquest. Unless the Saviour of Mankind conquer those cruel Enemies of the Soul, not one Sinner can be set at Liberty: For 'tis not the ba•e Ransom or Price of Christ's most precious Blood, I mean the laying down of his Life, that could work a perfect Freedom for us; for tho that made a full Compensation to the Justice of God, yet Sinners being under the Power of Sin, Satan, and Death, these Enemies take no notice at all of that Price; for our Saviour did not capitulate with them, neither will they give up their Prisoner till they are overcome, and (as I may say) are forced to do it: For as Christ saith, When a strong Man armed keepeth his Palace, 1his Goods are in Peace: But when a stronger than he shall come, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his Armour, &c. Satan is this strong Man armed, and Jesus Christ the Person that is stronger than he; and 'tis our Mercy God sent us such a strong and mighty Saviour, one able to subdue Sin, conquer Satan, overcome Death, that so he might deliver us, who were taken captive by them at their Will.2 To this end was the Son of God manifest, that he might destroy the Works of the Devil. He through Death, and rising again from the Dead, hath destroyed Death, and him that had the Power of Death, that is, the Devil; and delivered them who through Fear of Death were all their Life time subject to Bondage. 3He bids us also, Be of good cheer, for he hath overcome the World.
