The Devil a Lion.
2 Pet. 5.8. Be sober, be vigilant, because your Adversary the Devil, as a roaring Lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Christ is compared to a Lion, saith the learned Glassius, because Noble, Heroic, and Unconquerable. 2. Wicked Men and Tyrants are so called, because Fierce, Outrageous and Cruel. And 3. The Devil is called a Lion, because Roaring, Rapacious and devouring, &c.
CHrist is compared to a Lion, saith the learned Glassius, because Noble, Heroick, and Unconquerable. 2. Wicked Men and Tyrants are so called, because Fierce, Outragious and Cruel. And 3. The Devil is called a Lion, because Roaring, Rapacious and devouring, &c.
Some of the common Epithets of a Lion, as we have under another Head noted, are these, viz. Bold, Stony-hearted, Preying, Ravening, Stubborn, Cruel, Bloody, Terrible, Swelling, &c. Which sets forth his Natural Evil, and worst Properties, upon which account the Devil, as all the Learned observe, is compared to him.
