Satan, when he presented him∣self to Christ, did say who he was.

'TIs very likely, and 'tis the opinion of several Interpreters, that he feigned himself to be a good Angel; let us add, not onely a good Angel, but one of those Angels to whom God gives Commission of Rule over Kingdoms, Dan. 10.13.20. and 11.1. In that quality, which Satan took upon himself, he offered to Christ the Kingdoms of the world. Long before, all the Kingdoms of the Earth were promised to the Son of God, Psal. 2.8. &c. Satan would perswade him, it was he that should bring to pass that promise, as having re∣ceived the power over all Kingdoms, and authority, as he would make it to be be∣lieved, to dispose of the same. The Evan∣gelists, in few words, observe the depths of that Adversary.
