It is one of Satan's devices to lead the people to accept the fables of infidelity; for he can thus obscure the law of God, in itself very plain, and embolden men to rebel against the divine government. His efforts are especially directed against the fourth commandment, because it so clearly points to the living God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth.

Det er en af Satans planer at få folk til at antage vantroens fabler; for derved kan han fordunkle Guds lov, der i sig selv er ganske enkel, og give folk mod til at gøre oprør mod Guds regering. Hans anstrengelser er særlig rettet mod det fjerde bud, fordi det så klart viser hen til den levende Gud, himmelens og jordens skaber.
