unto_o we_o that_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o we_o so_o the_o reader_n may_v clear_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o satan_n to_o tempt_v god_n or_o man_n but_o the_o motion_n and_o word_n that_o proceed_v from_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n so_o in_o luke_n 10.18_o and_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n i_o behold_v satan_n as_o lighten_v fall_n from_o heaven_n this_o christ_n speak_v because_o his_o disciple_n rejoice_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v subject_a to_o they_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o he_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o reason_n that_o be_v in_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o jew_n very_o high_a in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n even_o as_o if_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n think_v in_o themselves_o that_o none_o can_v be_v more_o happy_a and_o sure_a of_o heaven_n and_o peace_n with_o god_n than_o they_o that_o keep_v to_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n now_o christ_n know_v that_o this_o righteousness_n of_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v throw_v down_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n which_o his_o apostle_n shall_v preach_v therefore_o he_o see_v by_o faith_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o reason_n in_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o jew_n shall_v fall_v like_o lighten_v from_o heaven_n and_o so_o it_o do_v and_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n shall_v by_o the_o doctrine_n and_o

fall_v like_o lighten_v from_o heaven_n they_o shall_v tread_v upon_o satan_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o very_a wisdom_n of_o reason_n the_o devil_n this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o behold_v satan_n fall_v from_o heaven_n like_o lightning_n and_o what_o satan_n be_v so_o much_o speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v to_o enlarge_v this_o point_n
