lead_v we_o of_o itself_o to_o understand_v by_o all_o these_o name_v a_o certain_a order_n of_o person_n have_v then_o examine_v all_o i_o can_v not_o conclude_v that_o the_o scripture_n consider_v

the_o chief_a point_n the_o scope_n of_o all_o this_o search_n be_v to_o know_v what_o to_o believe_v concern_v the_o devil_n upon_o this_o i_o bestow_v the_o five_o last_o chapter_n and_o in_o the_o

and_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n afford_v no_o proof_n of_o it_o afterward_o in_o the_o 33th_o chapter_n i_o show_v that_o the_o knowledge_n that_o the_o devil_n may_v have_v as_o well_o of_o

exactness_n i_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n of_o my_o second_o book_n where_o i_o show_v the_o importance_n of_o this_o examination_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a value_n the_o vulgar_a put_v upon_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o operation_n in_o the_o world_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o these_o sort_n of_o discourse_n shake_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o cause_v a_o great_a damage_n to_o piety_n in_o divers_a occasion_n i_o demonstrate_v the_o first_o of_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o 35th_o chapter_n and_o the_o second_o in_o the_o 36th_o as_o to_o
