I might enlarge here, and very much to the Purpose, in describing spherically and mathematically that exquisite Quality call'd _a devilish Spirit_, in which it would naturally occur to give you a whole Chapter upon the glorious Articles of _Malice_ and _Envy_, and especially upon that luscious, delightful, triumphant Passion call'd REVENGE; how natural to Man, nay even to both Sexes; how pleasant in the very Contemplation, tho' there be not just at that Time a Power of Execution; how palatable it is in it self, and how well it relishes when dish'd up with its proper Sauces, such as Plot, Contrivance, Scheme, and Confederacy, all leading on to Execution: How it possesses a human Soul in all the most sensible Parts; how it empowers Mankind to sin in Imagination, as effectually to all future Intents and Purposes (Damnation) as if he had sinned actually: How safe a Practice it is too, as to Punishment in this Life, namely, that it empowers us to cut Throats clear of the Gallows, to slander Virtue, reproach Innocence, wound Honour and stab Reputation; and in a Word, to do all the wicked Things in the World, out of the Reach of the Law. It would also require some few Words to describe the secret Operations of those nice Qualities when they reach the human Soul; how effectually they form a Hell within us, and how imperceptibly they assimilate and transform us into _Devils_, meer human Devils, as really _Devils_ as Satan himself, or any of his Angels; and that therefore 'tis not so much out of the Way, as some imagine, to say, such a Man is an _incarnate_ Devil; for as Crime made Satan a _Devil_, who was before a bright immortal Seraph, or Angel of Light; how much more easily may the same Crime make _the same_ DEVIL, tho' every Way meaner and more contemptible, _of a Man or_ a Woman either? But this is too grave a Subject for me at this Time. The _Devil_ being thus, I say, fir'd with Rage and Envy, in consequence of his Jealousy upon the Creation of Man, his Torment is encreased to the highest by the Limitation of his Power, and his being forbid to act against Mankind by Force of Arms; this is, I say, part of his _Hell_, which, as above, is within him, and which he carries with him wherever he goes; nor is it so difficult to conceive of _Hell_, or of the _Devil_, either under this just Description, as it is by all the usual Notions that we are taught to entertain of them, by (the old Women) our Instructors; for every Man may, by taking but a common View of himself, and making a just Scrutiny into his own Passions, on some of their particular Excursions, see a _Hell_ within himself, and himself a meer _Devil_ as long as the Inflammation lasts; and that as really, and to all Intents and Purposes, as if he had the Angel (_Satan_) before his Face, in his Locality and Personality; that is to say, all Devil and Monster in his Person, and an immaterial but intense Fire flaming about and from within him, at all the Pores of his Body.
