2 Corinthians10:5
Verſe 5. Caſting down imaginations] As the ſpettle that comes out of mans mouth ſlaieth ſerpents: ſo doth that which proceedeth out of the mouths of Gods faithfull Miniſters quell and kill evil imaginations, carnall reaſonings, which are that legion of domeſticall devils, that hold near intelligence with the old Serpent. Nemo ſibi de ſuo palpet: quiſ que ſibi Satan eſt. Corrupt reaſon, like Eve and Jobs wife, is alwaies drawing us from God. Out of doors with this Hagar.
And bringing into captivity] See here the proceſſe of St Pauls Miniſtery. He overthrows, captivates, ſubdues to the obedience of the Lord Chriſt. See the like Jer. 1.10. Choſroes King of Parthia, was ſo ſubdued by the Romans, that he made a law that none of his ſucceſſours ſhould ever wage war with them again, So here.
