What is the vse of the doctrine concerning diuels?

1. That we might be confirmed in the faith touching good An∣gels, the kingdome of heauen, and the blessed spirits; because seeing the effects of contraries is contrarie, if there be diuels and euill An∣gels, then certainely there be good Angels: and if there be an hell, then certainely there is a kingdome of heauen.

2. That we should be so much the more affraid to offend God, because as Peter saith, 2.2.4. If God spared not the Angels when they sinned, but cast them bound in chaines into hell, assuredly he knoweth how to reserue the vnrighteous against the day of iudgement to be pu∣nished.

3. That we might be so much the more watchfull, and stand v∣pon our guard: and therefore should fight euen as it were for life and death with our spirituall weapons, but especially with conti∣nuall prayers vnto Christ, against so many enemies and spirituall wickednesses, and that we should put on the whole armor of God, that is, that complete spirituall armour which the Apostle prescri∣beth, Eph. 6.11.13. and 1. Pet. 5.9.
