a S)efctijptian of Iitu'ng Cteatute^* uy 
which there cannot be a fitter reprefeotation of 
Sathans malice and fubtilty, whereby he entrap- 
pech and enfnareth poor filly people, endeavour- 
ing to draw them from the truth, by fuggefting 
his tentations and flattering devices, thereby 
drawing them into eternal deflruftion. The Welf 
ufeth no lefs fubtilty in taking of the Bull ; for fhe 
never fecteth upon him forwards, left he fhould kill 
her by his horns, but cometh behind him, leaping 
upon him (as we faid before) filling her belly with 
earth, which maketh her the heavier, and fo ma- 
keth up her weaknefs by her weight ; fhe taketh 
a Angle calf thus, fhe draweth him away from the 
Cow, which Ihe perceivlBg,it caufeth a fmall com- 
bate between the Cow and the Wolf for a tirae,the 
calf in the mean time running up and down • when 
he hath tired the Cow, then he goeth to the calf, 
and teareth him in pieces ; thus in like manner 
doth the Devil fet on young and old, fuiting his 
temptations to their conftitutions and inclinations^ 
and oftentimes by the force of his temptations, and 
of thofe afflidfions which oftentimes godly men lye 
under (were they not endued with faith and 
ftrength from above) would vanquifh and over- 
come them ; but when by ftrength he can do no- 
thing, he doth as it were come behind them by his 
fraud and deceit, and then beginneth a little to fall 
back, as if he were overcome, and fo maketh him 
the lefs wary of him, thinking he is gone 5 but af- 
terwards cometh on afrefh with his new wiles with 
a greater violence, and fo deftroyeth them j _ ma- 
ny inftances and examples of this might be given*
