2 Corinthians11:14
Verſe 14. Satan himſelf is, &c.] Satan (ſaith one) doth not alwaies appear in one and the ſame faſhion, but hath as many ſeverall changes as Proteus among the Poets. At Lyſtra he appears like a Comaedian, as if a ſcene of Plautus were to be preſented on the ſtage. At Antioch like a Jeſuite with traditions in his month. At Athens he ſallies out like a Philoſopher. At Epheſus like an Artiſicer, and here at Corinth he is transformed into an Angel of light. Fiery Serpents full of deadly poiſon are called Seraphims, Numb. 21.6. Iſa. 30.6.
