The After-Claps of Sin
Luke 4:5-8
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.…


We, knowing this craft, must labour in these temptations to see that which the devil hides, and to apprehend the fearful after-claps. Let us labour to see Jael's nail as well as her milk; Delilah's scissors as well as her bosom; the snake's poison as well as her embrace; and the bee's sting as well as her honey.

(D. Dyke.)
