The devil speaks Christs fair, but only to be rid of him: so 〈◊〉〈◊〉 many by Christs Ministers, that rip up their 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and so put them into an hell above-ground. St Mark tells us, that they worshipped our Saviour: St Luke, that
they adjured him. Satan (saith one) doth not alwaies appear in one and the same fashion. At Lystra he appeared like a Comedian, at 〈◊〉〈◊〉 like a Philosopher, at Ephesus like an Artificer, and here like an 〈◊〉〈◊〉: as to Saul he appeared like the old 〈◊〉〈◊〉, who could not have spoken more gravely, severely, divinely then the fiend did. But as, when one commended the Popes Legat at the Councel of Basile, Sigismund the Emperour answered, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Ro∣manus 〈◊〉〈◊〉: So when the devil comes commended unto us under what name soever, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 us cry out, yet he is a devil; and remember still to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 him, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the faith, 1 Pet. 5.
