Thus the same as before is established yet more abundantly; for He says, So far am I from having the Devil for my ally, that I rather am at war with him, and bind him; and in that I cast out after this sort, I therein spoil his goods. Thus He proves the very contrary of that they strove to establish.
He thus reiterates the same assertion with increased force; declaring that he is so far opposed to the Devil's alliance that he rather views him as an adversary, and subjugates him. This is further demonstrated by His actions, where He drives out evil in a corresponding manner, thereby depriving the Devil of his resources.
