Sinners are said to be lawful Captives, in that the Justice of God had delivered them into the hands of Satan, and his evil Angels, who were terrible Ones. They had never been delivered from those terrible Ones, nor the prey taken out of the hands of the Mighty, if Christ had not done it. Satan is a powerful Enemy; the Scripture speaks of the power of that Enemy,
