IV. A Hunter, that he may the better catch his Prey, hath not only his Snares, but also his Dogs, and them of every sort fit for his Sport and Enterprise, he hath his setting-Dogs, his scenting Dogs, his race-Dogs, some to start his Game, and others to pursue his Game, &c. So the Devil, the great Hunter of Souls, hath, besides his subtle Wiles and Snares, fit Instruments to effect and accomplish his Design; he has his Dogs (for so as we have showed you else where) wicked Men are called, and them also of every sort, some great ones, and some small ones, some that are like setting-Dogs, who watch how they may trepan, and prey upon the Godly to draw them into Sin, or into Sufferings; and others, who are like cruel Blood-Hounds, who, as being void of Mercy, endeavour to tear the Saints in pieces.

V. Some Hunters mind little else, save Hunting; 'tis said of Nimrod, 1he was a mighty Hunter▪ &c. So the Devil he is a mighty Hunter, he minds nothing more than the hunting of the Souls of Men, O the Millions, that he hath catched and destroyed, he is a most cruel Hunter.
