Addresses to old men, and young men, and little children. In three discourses ...…

The Devil, who is an Enemy to all men, is to young men a peculiar Enemy.

That the Devil is the Enemy of us all, is a thing very sensible unto us; and his power is called in the sacred Oracles, the power of the Enemy. If you ask, how the Devil is our Enemy, the Answer is obvious; he is our Accuser, and he is our Destroyer. The Devil does every day accuse us; 'tis his character, Rev. 12. 10. the Accuser of our Brethren which accuses them before God, day & night. There is a Court some-where kept in the invisible world, at which the Devils prefer as many complaints as they can against us; it is in this Court that they represent us as doing the things for which the wrath of God should come upon the Children of Disobedience. The Devil would also very fain destroy us; as he urged against a good man, in Job 1. 11. put forth ⟨p. 56⟩thin• Hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh. The Devils pray and plead, like so many Atto•nies, that a Judgment may be granted against us all; & they are not satisfied unless they themselves be made the Executioners thereof.
