In the next Place 'tis understood by us not as a bare Token to know _Satan_ by, but as if it were a Brand upon him, and that like the Mark God put upon _Cain_, it was given him for a Punishment, so that he cannot get leave to appear without it, nay cannot conceal it whatever other Dress or Disguise he may put on; and as if it was to make him as ridiculous as possible, they will have it be, that whenever _Satan_ has Occasion to dress himself in any humane Shape, be it of what Degree soever, from the King to the Beggar, be it of a fine Lady or of an _old Woman_, (the Latter it seems he oftenest assumes) yet still he not only must have this _Cloven-Foot_ about him, but he is oblig'd to shew it too; nay, they will not allow him any Dress, whether it be a Prince's Robes, a Lord Cha---r's Gown, or a Lady's Hoop and long Petticoats, but the Cloven-Foot must be shew'd from under them; they will not so much as allow him an artificial _Shoe_ or a _Jack-Boot_, as we often see contriv'd to conceal a _Club-Foot_ or a _Wooden-Leg_; but that the _Devil_ may be known wherever he goes, he is bound to shew his Foot; they might as well oblige him to set a Bill upon his Cap, as Folks do upon a House to be let, and have it written in capital Letters, _I am the_ DEVIL. It must be confess'd this is very particular, and would be very hard upon the _Devil_, if it had not another Article in it, which is some Advantage to him, and that is, that _the Fact is not true_; but the Belief of this is so universal, that all the World runs away with it; by which Mistake the good People miss the _Devil_ many times where they look for him, and meet him as often where they did not expect him, and when for want of this Cloven-Foot they do not know him.
