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

Remaining Diabolonians

"The second caution has reference to the Diabolonians still lurking in the soul. Even with IMMANUEL in the heart, the power of DIABOLUS is not wholly exterminated from the soul. Sins do not, indeed, dwell within the heart, if Christ be there; but they linger about the walls, and lurk in holes, and dens, and caves. Banished from the heart, sin still abides in the body, the members, the flesh, and the circumstances of man. Hence this timely caution—IMMANUEL advertises the soul of the continued survival of these principles; tells their names and their lurking-places; bids the soul to look in the law of the God, as in a looking-glass, and there to see itself and its spiritual state, and to know the things that antagonize the soul, and bring it low into subjection and captivity."[2]
