2, For the first, the enemies of the Faith (in this sense) or Doctrine of our salvation, in generall are two. First, Sathan. Secondly, wicked men. First, Sathan he is an old adversarie to the truth of God, as God is to him; These two are contrary one to another, like E∣phraim and Mannasse, E∣phraim against Mannasse, and Mannasse against E∣phraim; so Gospel is a∣gainst Sathan, and Sathan against Gospel. Sathan hee goes about seeking
whom he may devoure; and the Gospel that goeth a∣bout seeking whom it may save and rescue out of his hand; the Gospel seekes to destroy Sathan indeed, but no others, ex∣cept such as are willing to bee destroyed: and as Sa∣lomon saith, love death, Prov. 8. and this destroy∣ing which Sathan feares from the Gospel, is the true fountaine of that im∣placable enmitie he beares against it: he knowes ex∣cept hee can some wayes destroy it, it will destroy him.
