210. 5408. So at this time those who were doing the dancing were singing, which is logical, because the devil wants to imitate exactly everything he knows that points to God the Messiah, for he is passing himself off as the Messiah. Therefore he guides the minds of those who are self-righteous in regard to works to await a Messiah who favors their passions.
