1. The righteous shall go away from Devils; Christ doth here redeem them and deliver them from that tyrannical power which the Devil had over them before conversion, yet they are not wholly freed in this life from all his assaults and baits and snares; some of them are much buffered and oppressed by him most part, if not all their days; but at the last day they shall all go away from Satan; the Devil and all his Angels will be locked up in the bottomless Pit, and the righteous will never be molested with any of them any more, however the righteous sometimes are foiled by Satan here, and receive some wounds in their spiritual combat; yet then they will be victorious, and triumph over principalities and powers, and leave them bound in Chains behind them; they shall go away from Devils.

2. The righteous shall go away from all the wicked Persons; some of the wicked separated them from their company when they lived on Earth; now God will separate them from the company of all the wicked; they were hated by the wicked and troubled by them, and some of them suffered much under their reproaches and persecutions; then the wicked will cease from troubling them any more: their heart• were grieved with their oaths and filthy lewdness and ungodly conversation in the World; but now they shall go away from the wicked, no Devil, nor wicked Persons shall be admitted into their society, or have any room in the place whether they are going.
