Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Diabolus

"DIABOLUS is the Greek and Latin name for the Devil, and properly signifies the Calumniator or Accuser. The word is used, in Scripture, collectively, for the whole body of fallen spirits, whose original state of holiness and happiness the author describes."[1]
