ABSTRACT
Having observ’d how the Devil, in the Infancy of his Correspondence with Mankind, came to him, and made his Acquaintance by the same Method that God was pleas’d to reveal himself on Occasions of the greatest Importance; it would be very much to the Advantage of our present Enquiry, if we could come at some more Particulars in the respective Appearances, and know something of the Difference in them, that so for the Future we might distinguish our Modern Inspirations, and not oblige the Devil so much, or his Favourites either, as to flatter their Vanity with thinking they are divinely inspired, when, as I said before, they are only deluded with the Enthusiasms of Hell, and impos’d upon by Mother Eve’s Toad at their Ears, that is to say, by the Whispers of the Devil.
