1597. But because they are of this character, they do this with the intention that when they have led a person or spirit astray, they then claim they belong to them. For when they are distorting someone's faith, they know they are alienating the person from the Lord. So after they have convinced some of them, then they claim a right to them and make themselves their lords.
