THE
POLITICAL HISTORY
OF THE
DEVIL,
AS WELL
ANCIENT as MODERN:
IN TWO PARTS.
Part I.
Containing a State of the Devil's Circumstances, and the various Turns of his Affairs; from his Expulsion out of Heaven, to the Creation of Man; with Remarks on the several Mistakes concerning the Reason and Manner of his Fall.
Also his Proceedings with Mankind ever since Adam, to the first planting of the Christian Religion in the World.
Part II.
Containing his more private Conduct, down to the present Times: His Government, his Appearances, his Manner of Working, and the Tools he works with.
Bad as he is, the Devil may be abus'd,
Be falsly charg'd, and causelesly accus'd,
When Men, unwilling to be blam'd alone,
Shift off those Crimes on Him which are their Own.
