657. Evil spirits, when freed of restraints, work at nothing else than to to corrupt goodness into what is evil, and to imitate the qualities of heaven with the purpose of misleading minds by means of imitations and shams. These are their main endeavors, because each of them wants to be lord. 1748, 6 February.
