Quest. 5. verse 1.

How could the Serpent be said to speake?

The Devil spake by the Serpent, as he [Resp.] did afterwards by those that were posses∣sed.

Persons possessed had naturall Organs [Object.] fit for the forming of speech, so had not the Serpent.

'Tis true they had, but the Devil hath [Resp.] spoke in them, whether they would, or not, yea, when their mouth hath been shut, and their teeth set: now as to the matter in hand, it is all one to have no proper Organs for speech, and not to make use of them.

Thus by the eare death is brought into the world; but blessed be God, through Christ life is brought in by the same doore.
