(7) The form of these hellish spirits and administers, is outlined by signs and visible figures in this manner: that they are very expert and swift: that wherever they are in the world, the kingdom is theirs: that they manage all their affairs with cunning and skill, in this verse: that making show of mildness and tender affection to draw on men with, they most impudently rage in all mischief: that they are most mighty to do hurt (Revelation 9:8) that they are freed from being hurt by any man, as armed with the colour of religion and sacred authority of privilege: that they fill all things with horror, (Revelation 9:9) that they are fraudulent: that they are poisonous and extremely offensive though their power is limited. (Revelation 9:10). All these things are found in the infernal powers and communicated by them to their ministers and vassals.
