In a marvelous manner will he affect the bodies of those who are naturally inclined to do his bidding. Satan exults for his own sake that he is regarded as a fiction. When he is made light of, and is represented by some childish illustration, or as some animal, it suits him well. He is thought so inferior that minds are wholly unprepared for his wisely laid plans, and he almost always succeeds well. If his power and subtlety were understood, minds would be prepared to successfully resist him.

Han vil på en mærkværdig måde påvirke deres legemer, som har en naturlig tilbøjelighed til at gøre, hvad han befaler. Satan hoverer over, at han bliver betragtet som en myte idet han ser sin fordel i, at folk har den tro. Når man gør nar af ham og fremstiller ham ved en barnlig illustration eller som et dyr, passer det ham rigtigt godt. Han bliver da betragtet som noget så underordnet, at sindet er helt uforberedt over for hans klogt lagte planer, og han har da næsten altid held med sig.
