the Devill, the Devills were

caf-

out,

why

?

becaufe the

kingdome of

God

is

come,

But

if

I

caft

out

Devils

by

the Spirit

of

664,

then the

kingdome

of

god

is come

unto you

:

when

the

kingdome

of the

Meffias

came,

then the Devils were

caf+

out

of

poffeffion, you

never read concerning

the

caf

-ing out

of De-

vills

till

the

Meflias

came

into the world,

which was

to

fbew

us

that

it

was

referved to

jefus

Chrift

for

to

manifeft

his

pow-

kingdome of

Satan, and

it

was

a

that

the

kingdome

of God

was

come

becaufe the Devils were call

out,

fo

then the

kingdome

of

Heaven

is come,

to

thy

foule

if

the

Devill

can

reigne

no

more

;

certainly th;, Devills

had

their

reigne in thy

foule

before thou

wert

tranflated into

the

dome

of

his

dear Son, And

thoumayen be fure

now

that

thou

the power of

darkneffe,

that the Devill

fhailnever

reigne

in

thee

becaufe

the kingdome

of God

is

come

to thee,thou art

one

under the

kingdome of Jefüs

Chrif}.

The

Devill

is

the

King

of

this

world, the Devill rules

in

the

Air,

and

in

the children

of

difobedience, but

the

Devils

have

nothing

to

doe

to

rule

in

the children of the kingdome,,

tho.e

that

have

got out

of

the kingdome

of

the world into the

king-

dome ofjefus Chrift, the Devills

have no

further

power

;

It

may

be when thou

art

melancholly or

in the derke, thou

mayef-

have apprehenfion of Devills,

but certainly

all

thofe

that

have

in

them but

the

left

dram

ofgrace,

though

they are never

fo

.f

poo-,yet theirs

is

the

kingdome

of

Heaven,

that is, the

king-

dome ofGod

is come

to

them

that

bath

caf+

out

all

the

power

of the

Devil,

thou

wert

a

captive ílave

to

the Devill before

thou

camel+

into

this

kingdome,

but

now thou

arc

delivered

from

all

the power

of

the

Devil.
