HOw fierce and cruel a warre God made in Heauen once against sinne, may hence be gathe∣red, in that he damned Sathan and his Cōplices, precipitously throwne downe from those happy seates of beatitude vnto the extreame tor∣ments
of euerlasting fires. How im∣placable a warr likewise he brought against the same very enemy on earth as easily appeares, in that he feared not to descend into the lists of this mortal lifea 1.1 that fighting foot to foot, and hand to hand, he might vtterly defeat the deuils works, to wit, sinne. Lastly, how deadly a ha∣tred he beares in Hel to that wicked enemy, is cleere enough by this, that not enduring sinners to remaine any longer in these lists, bidding them depart, he banisheth them, into such miserable dungeons of eternal pu∣nishments.
2. Point. Attend besides, with what study and diligence, he com∣maund the monsters of vices, to pack away from our hart, like as a noble General in warr, as soone as he hath taken some Towne or fort, either by a sodaine stratagem or assault, re∣moues
the ancient Magistrates, and pute the souldiours in Garrison from their ranck and place, nor suffers any one to remaine behind, that might stirre vp the least sparckle of any treason.
3. Point Now with what iubiley and joyful signes the Angels exult and triumph in a manner, when they behold that infamous rable of por∣tents to be thrust forth, and chased from our hart! How stand they amazd in the meane tyme, at so great a multitude and deformity of ene∣mies! But how especially they ad∣mire, that infelicity or stupidity of ours, that we should euer seeme to afford any place to such execrable and damned Ghosts as these.
